Riches profit not in the day of wrath, etc.] When God takes away the soul, and summons to judgment, and brings to it; and as riches profited not Rome Pagan, in the day of the Lamb’s wrath upon it; so neither will they profit Rome Papal, when it will come in remembrance before God, to give it the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath; (see <660615> Revelation 6:15-17 18:15-17); but righteousness delivereth from death; from the curse of a corporeal death; from the power of a spiritual one; and from dying the second or an eternal one; (see Gill on “<201002>Proverbs 10:2”); the Targum is, “from an evil death.”
