Dominus interrogat justum et impium ; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.
Justitia simplicis diriget viam ejus,
et in impietate sua corruet impius.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way,.... Or "make [it] plain" f; that is, the righteousness of those who are perfect in Christ, complete in him, perfectly justified by his righteousness; that righteousness makes their way plain; it is the direct way, the highway, the pathway to eternal life and happiness; see
Proverbs 12:28;
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness; or, "in his wickedness" g: in his own wicked way, which he has chosen and delights to walk in; he shall stumble therein, and fall into ruin and destruction, into hell and damnation: or by means or because of it he will fall; his wickedness will be the cause of his fall; as it will be the cause of the fall of Babylon, Revelation 18:2.
