Psalms 37:20
evil <07563> [But the.]
<03733 03368> [as the fat of lambs. Heb. preciousness.]
That is, as the fat was wholly consumed in sacrifices, by the fire on the altar, so the wicked shall consume away in the fire of God's anger.
smoke <06227> [smoke.]
Psalms 119:83
wineskin ..... smoke <07008 04997> [like a bottle in the smoke.]
As the bottles in the East are made of skin, it is evident that one of these hung up in the smoke must soon be parched, shrivelled up, lose all its strength, and become unsightly and useless. Thus the Psalmist appeared to himself to have become useless and despicable, through the exhausted state of his body and mind, by long bodily afflictions and mental distress.
forget <07911> [yet do I.]
James 4:14
<2076> [It is. or, For it is. a vapour.]
