Proverbia 73:27

Jerome's Latin Vulgate

span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.73.1" class="versetxt"> Intellectus Asaph. [Ut quid, Deus, repulisti in finem,
iratus est furor tuus super oves pascuæ tuæ?
Memor esto congregationis tuæ,
quam possedisti ab initio.
Redemisti virgam hæreditatis tuæ,
mons Sion, in quo habitasti in eo.
Leva manus tuas in superbias eorum in finem:
quanta malignatus est inimicus in sancto!
Et gloriati sunt qui oderunt te in medio solemnitatis tuæ;
posuerunt signa sua, signa:
et non cognoverunt sicut in exitu super summum.
Quasi in silva lignorum securibus
exciderunt januas ejus in idipsum;
in securi et ascia dejecerunt eam.
Incenderunt igni sanctuarium tuum;
in terra polluerunt tabernaculum nominis tui.
Dixerunt in corde suo cognatio eorum simul:
Quiescere faciamus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
Signa nostra non vidimus;
jam non est propheta;
et nos non cognoscet amplius.
Usquequo, Deus, improperabit inimicus?
irritat adversarius nomen tuum in finem?
Ut quid avertis manum tuam,
et dexteram tuam de medio sinu tuo in finem?
Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula:
operatus est salutem in medio terræ.
Tu confirmasti in virtute tua mare;
contribulasti capita draconum in aquis.
Tu confregisti capita draconis;
dedisti eum escam populis Æthiopum.
Tu dirupisti fontes et torrentes;
tu siccasti fluvios Ethan.
Tuus est dies, et tua est nox;
tu fabricatus es auroram et solem.
Tu fecisti omnes terminos terræ;
æstatem et ver tu plasmasti ea.
Memor esto hujus: inimicus improperavit Domino,
et populus insipiens incitavit nomen tuum.
Ne tradas bestiis animas confitentes tibi,
et animas pauperum tuorum ne obliviscaris in finem.
Respice in testamentum tuum,
quia repleti sunt qui obscurati sunt terræ domibus iniquitatum.
Ne avertatur humilis factus confusus;
pauper et inops laudabunt nomen tuum.
Exsurge, Deus, judica causam tuam;
memor esto improperiorum tuorum,
eorum quæ ab insipiente sunt tota die.
Ne obliviscaris voces inimicorum tuorum:
superbia eorum qui te oderunt ascendit semper.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For, lo, they that are far from thee,.... Who are alienated from the life of God, far from the law of God, and subjection and obedience to it; and from righteousness either moral or evangelical, and from the love and fear of God, and worship of him:

shall perish; not merely at death, as even righteous men do, but be lost eternally:

thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee; that follow after other gods, and worship them; which is spiritual adultery and fornication, the Scriptures often speak of, and intend by it idolatry; see Deuteronomy 31:16 or who set their hearts and affections upon the creature, and have them alienated from God; and love the creature more and besides the Creator: the past tense seems to be put for the future, and so some render it, "thou shalt destroy", or "cut off" i; destroy them soul and body, and punish them with an everlasting destruction in hell; the Targum is,

"that wander from thy fear;''

that is, from the worship of God.

i הצמתה "perdes", Tigurine version, Musculus, so some in Vatablus; "exscindes", Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish - All that are estranged from thee; all who are not thy friends. They will certainly be destroyed. For them there can be no hope. This is the fact which solved the difficulty of the psalmist in regard to the divine dealings with people, Psalms 73:3-7. The fact that there will be a righteous judgment, in which God will deal with people according to their deserts, made all plain. Compare Psalms 73:16-20.

Thou hast destroyed - That is, Thou wilt certainly destroy. The psalmist places himself in the future, and speaks of this as if it were already done. It will be so certainly done that he could speak of it as if it were already accomplished.

All them that go a whoring from thee - The relation of God to his people is often compared in the Scriptures with the marriage relation (compare Psalms 45:0); and a departure from Him is compared with a want of fidelity to the marriage contract. See Matthew 12:39; Matthew 16:4; Jeremiah 3:8-9; Jeremiah 5:7; Jeremiah 13:27; Ezekiel 23:37; Revelation 2:22 :

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:27. They that are far from thee shall perish — The term perish is generally used to signify a coming to nothing, being annihilated; and by some it is thus applied to the finally impenitent, they shall all be annihilated. But where is this to be found in the Scriptures? In no part, properly understood. In the new heavens and the new earth none of the wicked shall be found; for therein dwells righteousness-nothing but God and righteous spirits; but at the same time the wicked shall be in their own place. And to suppose that they shall be annihilated, is as great a heresy, though scarcely so absurd, as to believe that the pains of damnation are emendatory, and that hell-fire shall burn out. There is presumptive evidence from Scripture to lead us to the conclusion, that if there be not eternal punishment, glory will not be eternal; as the same terms are used to express the duration of both. No human spirit that is not united to God can be saved. Those who are FAR FROM THEE shall perish-they shall be lost, undone, ruined, and that without remedy. Being separated from God by sin, they shall never be rejoined; the great gulf must be between them and their Maker eternally.

All them that go a whoring from thee. — That is, all that worship false gods; all idolaters. This is the only meaning of the word in such a connexion. I have explained this elsewhere.
