Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 73:17

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God , then understood I their end .

Till I consulted with the Oracle, or Word of God. He alludes to the Practise of those times, which was, in dark and difficult Cases, to resort to God's Sanctuary, and the Oracle in it for satisfaction.

There I learned that their Prosperity was short, and would quickly have an End, and that a most dismal and terrible one, that their fair Morning would be followed with a black and dreadful Enemy, and an everlasting Night.
