Salmos 34:16

16 Pero el Señor
aparta su rostro de los que hacen lo malo;
borrará todo recuerdo de ellos de la faz de la tierra.

Salmos 34:16 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 34:16

The face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil
Not against everyone that sins; for the righteous are not without sin; they have sin in them, and they do no good without it; but against them that live in sin, whose course of life is a series of wickedness, and they are workers of iniquity; and have no sense of sin, nor sorrow for it, go on in it without shame or fear; against these the face of the Lord is, he shows his resentment, and stirs up his wrath. For the Lord to be against a man is dreadful; a fearful thing it is to fill into his hands as a God of vengeance; there is no standing before him when once he is angry: and to have the face of God against a man is intolerable, when it is to destroy, and

to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth;
so that they shall be no more thought of, nor spoken of, but with contempt and reproach; an everlasting mark of infamy being upon their names; see ( Proverbs 10:7 ) .
