EXPLANATION

Verse 18. He is light, and so forth That is, the adulterer, that he may not be perceived and discovered, steps as nimbly and as light as if her were walking upon the waters. Or the sense is: he is as light, that is, as swift and nimble as the running waters.—By the way of the vineyards. That is, by the way where he may meet with fruit and blessings. Challoner.—The wicked are always inconstant. Calmet. Isaiah 57:19.—He deserves no temporal nor eternal happiness. If he were deprived of the former, he might perhaps endeavour to escape the torments of hell. Bible.
