"Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Their fruit shall thou destroy from the earth,.... Meaning the offspring of wicked men; the fruit of the womb, Psa 127:3 ; the same with their seed in the next clause: and their seed from among
the children of men; see Psa 37:28 ; which must be understood of such of their seed, and offspring as are as they were when born; are never renewed and sanctified, but are like their parents; as the Jews were, their parents were vipers, and they were serpents, the generation of them; and were the children of the devil, and did his works: now these passages had their accomplishment in the Jews, when the day of God's wrath burnt them up, and left them neither root nor branch, Mal 4:1 ; and in the Pagan empire, when every mountain and island were moved out of their places, and the Heathen perished out of the land, Rev 6:14 ; and will be further accomplished when the Lord shall punish the wicked woman Jezebel, the antichristian harlot, and kill her children with death, Rev 2:23 ; see Psa 104:35 .
