Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 9:17

17. The wicked, shall be turned into hell , and all the nations that forget God .

Either 1. Into the Grave, which is oft called Sch[illegible: 1+ letters]ol, into which they are said to be turned, or to return, because they were made of, or taken out of the Dust, Eccles. 12. 7. Or 2. Into the place of eternal Perdition; which also is sometimes called Sch[illegible: 1+ letters]ol, as Prov. 15. 24. and elsewhere. For he seems to speak here of those Punishments which are peculiar to the Wicked, whereas the Grave is common to good and bad. And as v. 8. He seems to speak of the last and general Judgment of all the World, so this Verse may be understood of the general Punishment of all Persons and Nations consequent upon it. And into this place wicked Men may be said to be turned back, or to return, either 1. Because it is their own proper place, Act. 1. 25. to which they belong, and from which they have their Original and their wicked Qualities, as being of their Father the Devil, Iohn 8. 44. In which respect the Locusts (who are by all Interpreters understood to be living Men) are said to come out of the bottomless Pit, Revel. 9. 2, 3. Or 2. Because they had set themselves as it were in Battel-Array against God, and were beaten back and driven from his Presence into their Graves, and into Hell it self.

Whom their great Numbers and Power cannot protect from God's Wrath.

That do not consider nor regard God, nor his Precepts, nor his Thre[illegible: 1+ letters]tnings and Judgments, but go on securely and presumputously in their oppressive and wicked Courses.
