SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:31
Por cuanto tuvo en poco la palabra del SEÑOR, y dio por nulo su mandamiento, enteramente será cortada esa persona; su iniquidad será sobre ella.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment , etc.] That is, has broken it through contempt of it, despising it as a command of God, paying no regard to it as a law of his; otherwise such who sin ignorantly break the commandment of God: that soul shall be utterly cut off ; or “in cutting off shall be cut off” f207 ; most certainly cut off and entirely ruined and destroyed in this world and in that to come, as the Targum of Jonathan; and Maimonides understands it of such a cutting off, that the soul itself perishes and is no more; but such annihilation the Scripture nowhere gives us any reason to believe: his iniquity [shall be] upon him ; the punishment of it, no atonement being made for it by sacrifice; it shall be upon him and him only, or be “in him” f209 , not repented of and not forgiven.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-36 - Those are to be reckoned presumptuous sinners, who sin designedl against God's will and glory. Sins thus committed are exceedingl sinful. He that thus breaks the commandment reproaches the Lord. He also despises the word of the Lord. Presumptuous sinners despise it thinking themselves too great, too good, and too wise, to be ruled by it. A particular instance of presumption in the sin of sabbath-breakin is related. The offence was gathering sticks on the sabbath day, to make a fire, whereas the people were to bake and seethe what they ha occasion for, the day before, Ex 16:23. This was done as an affron both to the law and to the Lawgiver. God is jealous for the honour of his sabbaths, and will not hold him guiltless who profanes them whatever men may do. God intended this punishment for a warning to all to make conscience of keeping holy the sabbath. And we may be assure that no command was ever given for the punishment of sin, which, at the judgment day, shall not prove to have come from perfect love an justice. The right of God to a day of devotion to himself, will be disputed and denied only by such as listen to the pride and unbelief of their hearts, rather than to the teaching of the Spirit of truth an life. Wherein consists the difference between him who was detecte gathering sticks in the wilderness on the day of God, and the man wh turns his back upon the blessings of sabbath appointments, and the promises of sabbath mercies, to use his time, his cares, and his soul in heaping up riches; and waste his hours, his property, and his strength in sinful pleasure? Wealth may come by the unhallowed effort but it will not come alone; it will have its awful reward. Sinfu pursuits lead to ruin.
