When all men shall speak well of you - When they shall praise or applaud you. “Then” we need not weep in the day of calamity then there will be no terror in death then there will be nothing to fear in the grave. To be happy in “such scenes,” it is necessary to be sober, humble, pious in early life. Alas! how many thus spend their youth! and how many weep when it is too late! God gives them over, and “laughs” at their “calamity,” and mocks when their fear comes, Proverbs 1:26. “There is” a place where you cannot laugh, and there you will see the folly of having passed the “proper time” of preparing for such scenes in levity and folly. In sickness, in calamity, in the prospect of death, in the fear of eternity, your laughter shall be turned into sorrow. Shall mourn and weep - The time is coming when you shall sorrow deeply.
That laugh now - Are happy, or thoughtless, or joyful, or filled with levity.
You shall feel your want and wretchedness, and shall “hunger” for something to satisfy the desires of a dying, sinful soul. Ye shall hunger - Your property shall be taken away, or you shall see that it is of little value and then you shall see the need of something better. They have no anxiety for the riches that shall endure forever. They desire nothing but wealth, and a sufficiency to satisfy the wants of the body. Many, alas! are thus “full.” They profess to be satisfied. Satisfied with their wealth, and not feeling their need of anything better than earthly wealth can give. Woe unto you that are full! - Not hungry. Alas! how poor and worthless is such consolation, compared with that which the gospel would give! All the consolation which they had reason to expect they had received.
They were proud, and would not seek it satisfied, and did not desire it filled with cares, and had no time or disposition to attend to it. It implies, farther, that they would not seek or receive consolation from the gospel. They loved them they had sought for them they found their consolation in them. They seem to have been spoken to the Pharisees. These verses have been omitted by Matthew. That hunger now - Matthew has it, “that hunger and thirst after righteousness.” Matthew has expressed more fully what Luke has briefly, but there is no contradiction.
