"The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them,.... From death, as in Pro 11:4 ; and from falling by sin, totally and finally; or into it, so as to perish
eternally; as well as it shall deliver those out of Babylon, who are the Lord's people, that will be found therein when that is about to fall; see Rev 18:4 ; but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness; in the very act of sin, and be punished for it; taken in it as in a net, and which they have spread for others, or as in a pit, which they have dug for others; taken as wild beasts are taken, to be destroyed; and that in the very midst of their wickedness, when fighting against God and the Lamb, as the beast and false prophet will, Rev 19:20 .
