James 1:24
_ _ beholdeth — more literally, “he contemplated himself and hath gone his way,” that is, no sooner has he contemplated his image than he is gone his way (James 1:11). “Contemplate” answers to hearing the word: “goeth his way,” to relaxing the attention after hearing — letting the mind go elsewhere, and the interest of the thing heard pass away: then forgetfulness follows [Alford] (Compare Ezekiel 33:31). “Contemplate” here, and in James 1:23, implies that, though cursory, yet some knowledge of one’s self, at least for the time, is imparted in hearing the word (1 Corinthians 14:24).
_ _ and ... and — The repetition expresses hastiness joined with levity [Bengel].
_ _ forgetteth what manner of man he was — in the mirror. Forgetfulness is no excuse (James 1:25; 2 Peter 1:9). |
James 1:24
He beheld himself, and went away — To other business. And forgot — But such forgetting does not excuse. |
