| cut off--opposed to "inherit the earth" (compare Lev 7:20-21). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For such as be blessed of him - They who are his true friends.
Shall inherit the earth - See Psa 37:9.
And they that be cursed of him - His enemies.
Shall be cut off - Psa 37:9. This verse suggests a thought of great importance, in advance of that which had been suggested before. It is that, after all, the difference in the ultimate condition of the two depends on the question whether they have, or have not, "the favor of the Lord." It is not on the mere fact of their own skill, but it is on the fact that the one has secured the divine favor, and that the other has not. It is not by mere human virtue, irrespective of God, that the result is determined; but it is that one is the friend of God, and the other not. This consideration will be found in the end to enter essentially into all the distinctions in the final condition of mankind. |

Shall inherit the earth - ארץ arets the land, as before. See Psa 37:11.
