Psalms 140:10. Let burning coals fall upon them :-
Or, "Burning coals shall fall upon them."
Psalms 140:10. Let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
The Psalmist doubtless had before his mind’s eye the picture of Sodom, where burning coals fell on the guilty cities, and where men stumbled into the fire, and when they tried to escape, fell into the deep slime pits, and perished. And, truly, it is but just that, if men lie, and slander, and try to tempt the righteous to their destruction, they should fall into the pits that they have themselves digged.
