Verse 2. The generation of the upright -- the family; the children -- shall be blessed. Such promises are expected to be fulfilled in general; it is not required by any proper rules of interpreting language that this should be universally and always true. -- Albert Barnes.
Verse 2. The generation of the upright shall be blessed. Albeit, few do believe it, yet is it true, that upright dealing hath better fruits than witty projecting and cunning catching. -- David Dickson.
Verse 2-3. It is probable that Lot thought of enriching his family when he chose the fertile plains of wicked Sodom, yet the event was very different; but Abraham "feared the Lord, and delighted greatly in his commandments," and his descendants were "mighty upon earth." And thus it will generally be, in every age, with the posterity of those who imitate the father of the faithful; and their disinterested and liberal conduct shall prove, in the event, a far preferable inheritance laid up for their children, than gold and silver, houses and lands, would have been. --Thomas Scott.
