Psalms 37:10

WEB

For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

KJV

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

Commentary

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be,.... Not that they shall be annihilated or reduced to nothing, because nonentities have no place nor being any where; when they die they shall lift up their eyes in hell; their bodies will rise again at the last day; they shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ, and go into everlasting punishment; but they shall be no more in the world, and in the same flourishing and prosperous circumstances they were: and this their destruction will be in a short time, very quickly; yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be; his dwelling place, called after his own name, to perpetuate the memory of him; see Job 7:10 ; an instance of this the psalmist gives of his own knowledge, Psa 37:35 .
