Insensibleness of their misery who are in want: To them that stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock: that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph: The Lord said, The banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed, Ammo. 6. 4, 6. 7.
5. Insensiblenesse of their misery who are in want: To them that stretch themselves upon their couches, and eate the lambs out of the flock: that drink wine in bowles, and annoint themselves with the chiefe ointments: but are not grieved for the affliction of Ioseph: The Lord said, The banquet of them that stretched themselves shalbe removed, Amo. 6. 4, 6. 7.
6. Cruelty to strangers that live among us for succour. 1Such were the Gibeonites that lived among the Israelites. (Jos. 9. 15.)
