A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
if . . . fruit, well--Genuine repentance, however late, avails to save (Luk 23:42-43).

after that, &c.--The final perdition of such as, after the utmost limits of reasonable forbearance, are found fruitless, will be pre-eminently and confessedly just (Pro 1:24-31; Eze 24:13).

13 In thy filthiness [02932] is lewdness [02154]: because I have purged [02891] thee, and thou wast not purged [02891], thou shalt not be purged [02891] from thy filthiness [02932] any more, till I have caused my fury [02534] to rest [05117] upon thee.
24 Because I have called [07121], and ye refused [03985]; I have stretched out [05186] my hand [03027], and no man regarded [07181];
25 But ye have set at nought [06544] all my counsel [06098], and would [014] none of my reproof [08433]:
26 I also will laugh [07832] at your calamity [0343]; I will mock [03932] when your fear [06343] cometh [0935];
27 When your fear [06343] cometh [0935] as desolation [07722] [07584], and your destruction [0343] cometh [0857] as a whirlwind [05492]; when distress [06869] and anguish [06695] cometh [0935] upon you.
28 Then shall they call [07121] upon me, but I will not answer [06030]; they shall seek me early [07836], but they shall not find [04672] me:
29 For that they hated [08130] knowledge [01847], and did not choose [0977] the fear [03374] of the LORD [03068]:
30 They would [014] none of my counsel [06098]: they despised [05006] all my reproof [08433].
31 Therefore shall they eat [0398] of the fruit [06529] of their own way [01870], and be filled [07646] with their own devices [04156].
42 And [2532] he said [3004] unto Jesus [2424], Lord [2962], remember [3415] me [3450] when [3752] thou comest [2064] into [1722] thy [4675] kingdom [932].
43 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto him [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto thee [4671], To day [4594] shalt thou be [2071] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] paradise [3857].
