Romans 9:28
_ _ For he will finish the work, and cut — “is finishing the reckoning, and cutting it”
_ _ it short in righteousness; because a short work — “reckoning”
_ _ will the Lord make upon the earth — (Isaiah 10:22, Isaiah 10:23), as in the Septuagint. The sense given to these words by the apostle may seem to differ from that intended by the prophet. But the sameness of sentiment in both places will at once appear, if we understand those words of the prophet, “the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness,” to mean that while a remnant of Israel should be graciously spared to return from captivity, “the decreed consumption” of the impenitent majority should be “replete with righteousness,” or illustriously display God’s righteous vengeance against sin. The “short reckoning” seems to mean the speedy completing of His word, both in cutting off the one portion and saving the other. |
Romans 9:28
For he is finishing or cutting short his account — In rigorous justice, will leave but a small remnant. There will be so general a destruction, that but a small number will escape. |

For he will finish the work, and cut [it] (b) short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
(b) God chooses and goes about to reduce the unkind and unthankful people to a very small number. |

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
