| fruit--children (Psa 37:25; Hos 9:16). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Their fruit - Their offspring; their children; their posterity, for so the parallelism demands. The "fruit" is that which the tree produces; and hence, the word comes to be applied to children as the production of the parent. See this use of the word in Gen 30:2; Exo 21:22; Deu 28:4, Deu 28:11, Deu 28:18; Psa 127:3; Hos 9:16; Mic 6:7.
Shalt thou destroy from the earth - Thou shalt utterly destroy them. This is in accordance with the statement so often made in the Scriptures, and with what so often occurs in fact, that the consequences of the sins of parents pass over to their posterity, and that they suffer in consequence of those sins. Compare Exo 20:5; Exo 34:7; Lev 20:5; Lev 26:39; compare the notes at Rom 5:12-21.
And their seed - Their posterity.
From among the children of men - From among men, or the human family. That is, they would be entirely cut off from the earth. The truth taught here is, that the wicked will ultimately be destroyed, and that God will obtain a complete triumph over them, or that the kingdom of righteousness shall be at length completely established. A time will come when truth and justice shall be triumphant, when all the wicked shall be removed out of the way; when all that oppose God and his cause shall be destroyed, and when God shall show, by thus removing and punishing the wicked, that he is the Friend of all that is true, and good, and right. The "idea" of the psalmist probably was that this would yet occur on the earth; the "language" is such, also, as may be applied to that ultimate state, in the future world, when all the wicked shall be destroyed, and the righteous shall be no more troubled with them. |

| Fruit - Their children. God will take away both root and branch, the parents and all that wicked race. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Their fruit shalt thou destroy - Even their posterity shall be cut off, and thus their memorial shall perish. |
16 Ephraim [0669] is smitten [05221], their root [08328] is dried up [03001], they shall bear [06213] no fruit [06529]: yea, though they bring forth [03205], yet will I slay [04191] even the beloved [04261] fruit of their womb [0990].
25 I have been young [05288], and now am old [02204]; yet have I not seen [07200] the righteous [06662] forsaken [05800], nor his seed [02233] begging [01245] bread [03899].
12 Wherefore [1223] [5124], as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man [444] sin [266] entered [1525] into [1519] the world [2889], and [2532] death [2288] by [1223] sin [266]; and [2532] so [3779] death [2288] passed [1330] upon [1519] all [3956] men [444], for [1909] that [3739] all [3956] have sinned [264]:
13 (For [1063] until [891] the law [3551] sin [266] was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889]: but [1161] sin [266] is [1677] not [3756] imputed [1677] when there is [5607] no [3361] law [3551].
14 Nevertheless [235] death [2288] reigned [936] from [575] Adam [76] to [3360] Moses [3475], even [2532] over [1909] them that had [264] not [3361] sinned [264] after [1909] the similitude [3667] of Adam's [76] transgression [3847], who [3739] is [2076] the figure [5179] of him that was to come [3195].
15 But [235] not [3756] as [5613] the offence [3900], so [3779] also [2532] is the free gift [5486]. For [1063] if [1487] through the offence [3900] of one [1520] many [4183] be dead [599], much [4183] more [3123] the grace [5485] of God [2316], and [2532] the gift [1431] by [1722] grace [5485], which is [3588] by one [1520] man [444], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], hath abounded [4052] unto [1519] many [4183].
16 And [2532] not [3756] as [5613] it was by [1223] one [1520] that sinned [264], so is the gift [1434]: for [1063] [3303] the judgment [2917] was by [1537] one [1520] to [1519] condemnation [2631], but [1161] the free gift [5486] is of [1537] many [4183] offences [3900] unto [1519] justification [1345].
17 For [1063] if [1487] by one man's [1520] offence [3900] death [2288] reigned [936] by [1223] one [1520]; much [4183] more [3123] they which receive [2983] abundance [4050] of grace [5485] and [2532] of the gift [1431] of righteousness [1343] shall reign [936] in [1722] life [2222] by [1223] one [1520], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].)
18 Therefore [686] [3767] as [5613] by [1223] the offence [3900] of one [1520] judgment came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] to [1519] condemnation [2631]; even [2532] so [3779] by [1223] the righteousness [1345] of one [1520] the free gift came upon [1519] all [3956] men [444] unto [1519] justification [1347] of life [2222].
19 For [1063] as [5618] by [1223] one [1520] man's [444] disobedience [3876] many [4183] were made [2525] sinners [268], so [3779] [2532] by [1223] the obedience [5218] of one [1520] shall [2525] many [4183] be made [2525] righteous [1342].
20 Moreover [1161] the law [3551] entered [3922], that [2443] the offence [3900] might abound [4121]. But [1161] where [3757] sin [266] abounded [4121], grace [5485] did much more abound [5248]:
21 That [2443] as [5618] sin [266] hath reigned [936] unto [1722] death [2288], even [2532] so [3779] might [936] grace [5485] reign [936] through [1223] righteousness [1343] unto [1519] eternal [166] life [2222] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
39 And they that are left [07604] of you shall pine away [04743] in their iniquity [05771] in your enemies [0341] ' lands [0776]; and also in the iniquities [05771] of their fathers [01] shall they pine away [04743] with them.
5 Then I will set [07760] my face [06440] against that man [0376], and against his family [04940], and will cut him off [03772], and all that go a whoring [02181] after [0310] him, to commit whoredom [02181] with Molech [04432], from among [07130] their people [05971].
7 Keeping [05341] mercy [02617] for thousands [0505], forgiving [05375] iniquity [05771] and transgression [06588] and sin [02403], and that will by no means [05352] clear [05352] the guilty; visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121], and upon the children's [01121] children, unto the third [08029] and to the fourth [07256] generation.
5 Thou shalt not bow down [07812] thyself to them, nor serve [05647] them: for I the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] am a jealous [07067] God [0410], visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121] unto the third [08029] and fourth [07256] generation of them that hate [08130] me;
7 Will the LORD [03068] be pleased [07521] with thousands [0505] of rams [0352], or with ten thousands [07233] of rivers [05158] of oil [08081]? shall I give [05414] my firstborn [01060] for my transgression [06588], the fruit [06529] of my body [0990] for the sin [02403] of my soul [05315]?
16 Ephraim [0669] is smitten [05221], their root [08328] is dried up [03001], they shall bear [06213] no fruit [06529]: yea, though they bring forth [03205], yet will I slay [04191] even the beloved [04261] fruit of their womb [0990].
3 Lo, children [01121] are an heritage [05159] of the LORD [03068]: and the fruit [06529] of the womb [0990] is his reward [07939].
18 Cursed [0779] shall be the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and the fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], the increase [07698] of thy kine [0504], and the flocks [06251] of thy sheep [06629].
11 And the LORD [03068] shall make thee plenteous [03498] in goods [02896], in the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and in the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], and in the fruit [06529] of thy ground [0127], in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01] to give [05414] thee.
4 Blessed [01288] shall be the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and the fruit [06529] of thy ground [0127], and the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], the increase [07698] of thy kine [0504], and the flocks [06251] of thy sheep [06629].
22 If men [0582] strive [05327], and hurt [05062] a woman [0802] with child [02030], so that her fruit [03206] depart [03318] from her, and yet no mischief follow [0611]: he shall be surely [06064] punished [06064], according as the woman's [0802] husband [01167] will lay [07896] upon him; and he shall pay [05414] as the judges [06414] determine.
2 And Jacob's [03290] anger [0639] was kindled [02734] against Rachel [07354]: and he said [0559], Am I in God's [0430] stead, who hath withheld [04513] from thee the fruit [06529] of the womb [0990]?
