EXPLANATION

Verse 29. Condemn, either God or the person whom he approves. Does not he exercise dominion over all? Calmet.—Men. Lit. “all men.” Hebrew “a man.” God may destroy either a part or the whole of creation. Sometimes whole nations or cities are cut off, and the deluge nearly swept away all mankind. Bible.
