Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 50:21

21. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence : thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thy self : but I will reprove thee , and set them in order before thine eyes .

I did not express my Displeasure against thee, in such grievous Judgments as thou didst deserve. Or, I was deaf: I carried my self like one that did not hear thy sinful Speeches, nor see, or take any notice of thy wicked Actions.

Thou didst Misconstrue and abuse this my Patience and long suffering, as if it had proceeded from my Ignorance, or Regardlessness, or Approbation of thy evil Courses, which I seemed by my Connivence to justifie or allow; and thereupon didst grow more audacious and impudent in sin. See Eccles. 11, 9. Isa. 26. 10. Rom. 2. 4, 5.

Not with Verbal, but real Reproofs, (i. e.) By severe Punishments, as this Word is used, Iob 13. 10. Psal. 6. 1. and 38. 1. and 39. 71. and oft elsewhere. I will quickly undeceive and Convince thee, of the contrary to thy cost.

I will bring to thy Remembrance, and lay upon thy Conscience all thy sins, in full number and in their Order, with all their Circumstances; and thou shalt then see and know that I diligently observed and hated them all, and that none of them shall go unpunished.
