Psaume 109:13

13 Que ses descendants soient exterminés, Et que leur nom s'éteigne dans la génération suivante!

Psaume 109:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:13

Let his posterity be cut off
As the seed of the wicked are said to be, ( Psalms 37:28 ) , or cut down, as a tree to the very root; as the Jewish nation was by the axe of God's judgment, which, John says, was laid to the root of the tree, and the blow just going to be given, as it was in a few years after, ( Matthew 3:10 ) or, as the Targum,

``let his end be for destruction;''

and so the Syriac version, "let their end be for destruction"; their last end, which it is said shall be cut off, and issue in death, eternal death; when the end of a good man is peace and eternal life, see ( Psalms 37:37 Psalms 37:38 ) ( Romans 6:21 ) .

And in the generation following let their name be blotted out:
or, in another age ^F4; the next age, the third generation; meaning the name of the posterity of Judas, and the name of the people of the Jews, so as to be spoken of with honour and reputation; but, instead of that, they are for a taunt, a proverb, and a curse, in all places.

Psaume 109:13 In-Context

11 Que le créancier s'empare de tout ce qui est à lui, Et que les étrangers pillent le fruit de son travail!

12 Que nul ne conserve pour lui de l'affection, Et que personne n'ait pitié de ses orphelins!

13 Que ses descendants soient exterminés, Et que leur nom s'éteigne dans la génération suivante!

14 Que l'iniquité de ses pères reste en souvenir devant l'Eternel, Et que le péché de sa mère ne soit point effacé!

15 Qu'ils soient toujours présents devant l'Eternel, Et qu'il retranche de la terre leur mémoire,
