Until the pit be digged for the ungodly.

The retributive doom of the wicked

I. It is terrible; it is a “pit”; conveying the idea--

1. Of darkness; no sunlight.

2. Confinement; enclosed all around.

3. Of desolation; no society.

II. It is preparing. The pit is being “digged,” it is in process, not completed. Who is digging it? Not the Almighty, but the sinner himself. Deeper and deeper it becomes with every transgression he commits. (Homilist.)
