2 Peter2:8
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing , vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds.)
Their wickedness was so open and shameless, that he not only heard the report of it, but saw them commit it, Isa. 3.9.
Gr. Tormented, i. e. extreamly afflicted and troubled his own Soul, provoking himself to godly Sorrow at the fight and fame of their unlawful deeds. His Grief was voluntary, and he active in it; the like is said of Christ, on occasion of Lazarus his Death, Ioh. 11.33. where the Margin reads, he troubled himself.
Marginal references: Psal. 119.158. Ezek. 9.4.
