Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - The thought of ver. 1 is further expanded, the notion of flight being, as Jerome says, dissected. For dig, the LXX. reads, "be hidden;" but the expression implies a breaking through (Ezekiel 8:8). Hell (Sheol) is supposed to be in the inmost part of the earth (comp. Psalm 139:7, 8; Obadiah 1:4). Take them. To receive punishment.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Dig.--For this expression break should be substituted. "Hell," or rather, Hades (Sheol), the dark abode of the gathered dead, is contrasted with "heaven," the abode of light. Escape from the universal Lord is impossible.
