13
LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be disappointed. Those who depart from me will be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living waters.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 13. Earth, where alone their portion shall be, (Revelation 3:5,) or they shall be forgotten. It is a proverbial expression, like that of Catullus:
Dixit: sed mulier cupido quod dixit amanti
In vento et rapidâ scribere oportet aquâ.
—Living, which never fail, unlike those of the wicked. Calmet. 2:13.
