Cross-References
He named the land "Earth," and the water which had come together he named "Sea." And God was pleased with what he saw.
Then he commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit"—and it was done.
Then God commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life: domestic and wild, large and small"—and it was done.
Then God said, "And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small."
As surely as seeds sprout and grow, The Sovereign Lord will save his people, And all the nations will praise him.
The soil itself makes the plants grow and bear fruit; first the tender stalk appears, then the head, and finally the head full of grain.
Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes or gather grapes from bramble bushes.
And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity.
Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave,.... The innocent person, and those that are with him, his servants; our gang is so numerous that we can very easily dispatch him and all his attendants, and bury them out of sight at once, as if they were swallowed up alive in a grave, and so no more to be seen or heard of; and consequently we shall be in the utmost safety and security, there being no traces of what is done, nor any left to make a relation of it, or to give any information of us, or to pursue us;
and whole, as those that go down into the pit; who though whole and in perfect health, shall in a moment be destroyed and cast into the pit, being first plundered of all the riches they have about them; for this swallowing them up alive and whole, which is an allusion to a beast of prey swallowing up another creature all at once, not only intends their cruelty in taking away life, but their rapaciousness in seizing upon their substance.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
i. e., âWe will be as all-devouring as Sheol. The destruction of those we attack shall be as sudden as that of those who go down quickly into the pit.â Some render the latter clause, and upright men as those that go down to the pit. âPitâ here is a synonym for Sheol, the great cavernous depth, the shadow-world of the dead.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 1:12. Let us swallow them up alive — Give them as hasty a death as if the earth were suddenly to swallow them up. This seems to refer to the destruction of a whole village. Let us destroy man, woman, and child; and then we may seize on and carry away the whole of their property, and the booty will be great.
