Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 125:5

5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways , the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity : but peace shall be upon Israel .

But those hypocrites, who either through fear of the rod mentioned v. 3. or [illegible: 1+ letters]or other considerations, shall turn aside from the ways of God, which for a time they professed and seemed to owne, unto sinful courses, whom he opposeth to the upright, v. 4.

To wit, unto punishment, as malefactors are commonly led to the place of execution.

With the most obstinate and profligate sinners, of whose plagues they shall certainly partake as they did of their sins.

Upon the true Israel of God.
