EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Shall wash his hands, and so forth Shall applaud the justice of God, and take occasion, from the consideration of the punishment of the wicked, to wash and cleanse his hands from sin. Challoner.—Hands. Hebrew “feet,” (though this is not certain. Psalms 73:4. Bert.) and all his body; the carnage shall be so great. The just approve of God’s judgments, ( Calmet.) in or “over,” επι, to testify that he has no connexion with the wicked. Theod.—The just will purify himself still more at the sight of vengeance. This interpretation is good, but no so literal. Bert.
