Salmi 109:13

13 La sua progenie sia distrutta; nella seconda generazione sia cancellato il loro nome!

Salmi 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.

Salmi 109:13 In-Context

11 Getti l’usuraio le sue reti su tutto ciò ch’egli ha, e gli stranieri faccian lor preda delle sue fatiche.

12 Nessuno estenda a lui la sua benignità, e non vi sia chi abbia pietà de’ suoi orfani.

13 La sua progenie sia distrutta; nella seconda generazione sia cancellato il loro nome!

14 L’iniquità dei suoi padri sia ricordata dall’Eterno, e il peccato di sua madre non sia cancellato.

15 Sian quei peccati del continuo davanti all’Eterno, e faccia egli sparire dalla terra la di lui memoria,
