Their fruit shall thou destroy from the earth, etc.] Meaning the offspring of wicked men; the fruit of the womb, (<19C703>Psalm 127:3); the same with their seed in the next clause: and their seed from among the children of men; (see <193728>Psalm 37:28); which must be understood of such of their seed, and offspring as are as they were when born; are never renewed and sanctified, but are like their parents; as the Jews were, their parents were vipers, and they were serpents, the generation of them; and were the children of the devil, and did his works: now these passages had their accomplishment in the Jews, when the day of God’s wrath burnt them up, and left them neither root nor branch, (<390401>Malachi 4:1); and in the Pagan empire, when every mountain and island were moved out of their places, and the Heathen perished out of the land, (<660614>Revelation 6:14 <191016>Psalm 10:16); and will be further accomplished when the Lord shall punish the wicked woman Jezebel, the antichristian harlot, and kill her children with death, (<660223>Revelation 2:23); (see <19A435>Psalm 104:35).
