ExplanationCommentary
Verse 18. The day. Some imprudently laughed at the prophets. Isaiah 5:19. Jeremiah 17:15. Others wished for the coming of the Lord, not reflecting that he would punish their guilt. Calmet.—Thus, many through impatience, desire to die. We must rather, repent, and leave our lives at God’s disposal. Saint Jerome
