Psaume 36:12

12 Déjà tombent ceux qui commettent l'iniquité; Ils sont renversés, et ils ne peuvent se relever.

Psaume 36:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 36:12

There are the workers, of iniquity fallen
Either in the pit they dug for others; or into hell, where they shall be turned at last; (See Gill on Psalms 5:5) and (See Gill on Psalms 6:8);

they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise;
which will be the case of Babylon when fallen, ( Revelation 18:21 ) , and this distinguishes the falls of the wicked from those of the righteous; for though the righteous fall, whether into sin, or into any calamity, they rise again; not so the wicked; see ( Psalms 37:24 ) ( Micah 7:8 ) ; and thus, as the psalm begins with the transgression of the wicked, it ends with their ruin.

Psaume 36:12 In-Context

10 Etends ta bonté sur ceux qui te connaissent, Et ta justice sur ceux dont le coeur est droit!
11 Que le pied de l'orgueil ne m'atteigne pas, Et que la main des méchants ne me fasse pas fuir!
12 Déjà tombent ceux qui commettent l'iniquité; Ils sont renversés, et ils ne peuvent se relever.
