"The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires."
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 .
