A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
forgive not-- (Psa 109:9-10, Psa 109:14).

blot out--image from an account-book (Rev 20:12).

before thee--Hypocrites suppose God is not near, so long as they escape punishment; but when He punishes, they are said to stand before Him, because they can no longer flatter themselves they can escape His eye (compare Psa 90:8).

deal thus--exert Thy power against them [MAURER].

time of thine anger--Though He seems to tarry, His time shall come at last (Ecc 8:11-12; Pe2 3:9-10).

Referred by MAURER, &c., to the beginning of Zedekiah's reign.

9 The Lord [2962] is [1019] not [3756] slack [1019] concerning his promise [1860], as [5613] some men [5100] count [2233] slackness [1022]; but [235] is longsuffering [3114] to [1519] us-ward [2248], not [3361] willing [1014] that any [5100] should perish [622], but [235] that all [3956] should come [5562] to [1519] repentance [3341].
10 But [1161] the day [2250] of the Lord [2962] will come [2240] as [5613] a thief [2812] in [1722] the night [3571]; in [1722] the which [3739] the heavens [3772] shall pass away [3928] with a great noise [4500], and [1161] the elements [4747] shall melt [3089] with fervent heat [2741], the earth [1093] also [2532] and [2532] the works [2041] that are therein [1722] [846] shall be burned up [2618].
11 Because sentence [06599] against an evil [07451] work [04639] is not executed [06213] speedily [04120], therefore the heart [03820] of the sons [01121] of men [0120] is fully set [04390] in them to do [06213] evil [07451].
12 Though a sinner [02398] do [06213] evil [07451] an hundred times [03967], and his days be prolonged [0748], yet surely I know [03045] that it shall be well [02896] with them that fear [03373] God [0430], which fear [03372] before [06440] him:
8 Thou hast set [07896] our iniquities [05771] before thee, our secret [05956] sins in the light [03974] of thy countenance [06440].
12 And [2532] I saw [1492] the dead [3498], small [3398] and [2532] great [3173], stand [2476] before [1799] God [2316]; and [2532] the books [975] were opened [455]: and [2532] another [243] book [975] was opened [455], which [3739] is [2076] the book of life [2222]: and [2532] the dead [3498] were judged [2919] out of [1537] those things which were written [1125] in [1722] the books [975], according to [2596] their [846] works [2041].
14 Let the iniquity [05771] of his fathers [01] be remembered [02142] with the LORD [03068]; and let not the sin [02403] of his mother [0517] be blotted out [04229].
9 Let his children [01121] be fatherless [03490], and his wife [0802] a widow [0490].
10 Let his children [01121] be continually [05128] vagabonds [05128], and beg [07592]: let them seek [01875] their bread also out of their desolate places [02723].
