On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The LXX. emphatically repeats this: Not so the ungodly; they are not so; they are led by the counsel of the wicked, in the way of sinners, to the seat of the scornful; they have no delight in the law of God, nor ever think of it; they bring forth no fruit but grapes of Sodom; they cumber the ground.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Ungodly - Their condition is far different. Chaff - They are restless and unquiet: their seeming felicity, hath no firm foundation, but quickly vanishes and flees away as chaff before the wind.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
