On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Their way shall be dark and slippery, darkness and slipperiness (so the margin reads it); the way of sinners is so, for they walk in darkness and in continual danger of falling into sin, into hell; and it will prove so at last, for their foot shall slide in due time, Deut. xxxii. But this is not the worst of it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

) so that they cannot possibly escape the pit of destruction. As God's angels encamp against those that fight against him. They are the ministers of his justice, as well as of his mercy.
