FOOTNOTES:

F24 in later times; or from the civil magistrate, being ordered by him to be beaten ^F25 or stoned; or from God himself inflicting diseases on him; see ( Genesis 12:17 ) ; where the same word is used as here: and "dishonour" from men; for though they do not despise a thief in circumstances before related, yet they will despise an adulterer, and speak reproachfully of him, whenever they have occasion to make mention of him; and his reproach shall not be wiped away;
as long as he lives, though his life may be spared; yea, it shall even continue after death; and though he may repent of his sin and reform, as in the case of David.
