They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

Ver. 22. They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame] It shall cover their faces, Psalms 69:7, yea, cover over the whole man; when beyond all expectation they shall see thee restored to thy former prosperity. Where it is worth considering, saith one, how truly this happened touching Job, and these friends of his; he was restored, and they, by God's reproving them, covered with shame, as it appeareth, Job 42:7,10

And the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought] Heb. Shall not be. See Job 8:18. Understand it not of his tabernacle only, or dwelling place, but of his whole estate, both temporal and spiritual, all shall come to rack and ruin. God shall utterly overturn them, as Zisca did those 300 monasteries, and among the rest that famous monastery called the king's court, a mile from Prague; in the walls whereof the whole Bible was most exquisitely written in letters of gold (Mr Clark in his Life). "The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish," Proverbs 14:11 .
