In Hebrew, the word for sword is "חֶרֶב" (chereb), which often symbolizes warfare and destruction. Historically, swords were the primary weapon of ancient warfare, representing power and the ability to impose one's will. In the spiritual sense, this phrase suggests that the very tools or methods the wicked use to harm others will ultimately be turned against them. This reflects a divine justice where evil plans backfire on the perpetrators.<p><b>will pierce their own hearts</b><br />The imagery of a sword piercing one's own heart is vivid and powerful. The heart, "לֵב" (lev) in Hebrew, is often seen as the seat of emotion, will, and intellect. This phrase suggests a self-destructive outcome for the wicked, where their intentions and actions lead to their own ruin. It is a poetic justice that highlights the futility of wickedness. Theologically, this can be seen as a warning that sin and malice ultimately lead to internal turmoil and spiritual death, emphasizing the biblical principle that one reaps what they sow.<p><b>and their bows</b><br />The "bows" here represent another weapon of warfare, "קֶשֶׁת" (qeshet) in Hebrew, used for long-range attacks. Bows, like swords, symbolize the capability to inflict harm from a distance, indicating premeditated aggression. In the historical context, bows were crucial in battles, allowing archers to strike from afar. Spiritually, this can be interpreted as the plans and schemes devised by the wicked to harm others. The mention of bows alongside swords underscores the comprehensive nature of the wicked's arsenal, yet it also sets the stage for their ultimate failure.<p><b>will be broken</b><br />The breaking of bows signifies the nullification and impotence of the wicked's plans. In Hebrew, "שָׁבַר" (shabar) means to break or destroy. This phrase conveys the idea that God will intervene to dismantle the power and effectiveness of the wicked's schemes. Historically, a broken bow is useless in battle, symbolizing defeat and disarmament. From a theological perspective, this reflects God's sovereignty and justice, ensuring that evil will not prevail. It serves as a reassurance to the faithful that God will protect them and that righteousness will ultimately triumph over wickedness.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/37.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(15) <span class= "bld">Their sword.</span>--The <span class= "ital">lex talionis. </span>(Comp. <a href="/context/psalms/7-15.htm" title="He made a pit, and dig it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.">Psalm 7:15-16</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/37.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 15.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Their sword shall enter into their own heart</span>.
