Psalms 140:10

Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

140:10. Let burning coals fall upon them. Then will they know that the scattering of the firebrands is not the sport they thought it to be.

Let them be east into the fire. They have kindled the flames of strife, and it is fair that they should be cast therein.

Into the deep pits, that they rise not up again. They made those ditches for the godly, and it is meet that they should themselves fall into them and never escape. When a righteous man falls he rises again, but when the wicked goes down “he falls like Lucifer, never to hope again.”

Excerpt from:

The Treasury of David by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
