Verse 9

: ''Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?'' :: ''prudent, and he shall know them?'' : ''for the ways of the Lord are right,'' :: ''and the just shall walk in them:'' : ''but the transgressors shall fall therein.''

Reprint, Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 1998. * "But the transgressors shall fall therein": the "transgressors of the law of God", according to Kimchi's father, will "stumble in them and fall"; or as Jarchi and the Targum state, "they fall into hell, into ruin and destruction, because they walk not in them"; but the sense also seems as Christ himself, his ways and his word, his doctrines and his ordinances, be stumbling blocks to wicked men, at which they stumble, and fall, and perish; see and .
