Adam Clarke, on 2Pet 2:8
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
2Pet 2:8 · Douay-Rheims
“For in sight and hearing he was just: dwelling among them, who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works.”
On this verse:
“That righteous man dwelling among them - Lot, after his departure from Abraham, A. M. 2086, lived at Sodom till A. M. 2107, a space of about twenty years; and, as he had a righteous soul, he must have been tormented with the abominations of that people from day to day. The word εβασανιζεν, tormented, is not less emphatic than the word καταπονουμενον, grievously pained, in the preceding verse, and shows what this man must have felt in dwelling so long among a people so abandoned.”
