Wisdom 5:1 Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours.

Then. At the day of judgment. The just and the reprobate know each other's condition, Luke 16:20. --- Labours. Defrauding them of their wages, (Leviticus 19:13.) or plundering them. Septuagint, "despised, (Calmet) or frustrated his labours." (Haydock) --- Worldlings deride those who strive to obtain the goods of eternity, (Calmet) and think they labour in vain. (Worthington)
