Psalms 21:10

"You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them."

Key Reflection

This verse symbolizes divine judgment, where God's wrath transforms His enemies into a burning furnace, consuming them with His anger. It underscores the severity of divine punishment and the ultimate destruction of those who oppose Him.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Their fruit -Their offspring; their children; their posterity, for so the parallelism demands. The “fruit” is that which the tree produces; and hence, the word comes to be applied to children as the production of the parent. See this use of the word inGenesis 30:2;Exodus 21:22;Deuteronomy 28:4,Deuteronomy 28:11,Deuteronomy 28:18;Psalms 127:3;Hosea 9:16;Micah 6:7. Shalt thou destroy from the earth -Thou shalt utterly destroy them. This is in accordance with the statement so often made in the Scriptures, and with what so often occurs in fact, that the consequences of the sins of parents pass over to their posterity, and that they suffer in consequence of those sins.
