On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

"The darkness darkeneth not from thee, for there is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves." No hypocritical mask or disguise, how specious soever, can save any person or action from appearing in a true light before God. Secret haunts of sin are as open before God as the most open and barefaced villanies.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
