CHAP. XL. Of the judgements of God, and how just he is in judgement, and how his promises and threatenings to Israel, appertain to us.
CHAP. XL. Ofthe iudgements of God, and how iust he is in iudgement, and how his promises and threatnings to Israel, appertaine to vs.
Let the wicked rebel as they will, and think how by their subtleties they may escape Gods threatened judgements for a while; yet they shall be pursued from far, and shall taste the heavy hand of God, both fearfully and wonderfully: as we see in Ahab 2. Chron. 18. 33. and others: wherefore let the judgements of God ever humble us, for if they do not humble us, assuredly they fall upon us.
LEt the wicked rebell as they will, and thinke how by their subtilties they may escape Gods threatned iudgements for a while; yet they shall be pursued from farre, and shall taste the heauie hand of God, both fearefully and wonderfully: as we see in Achab 2. Chron. 18. 33. and others: wherefore let the iudgements of God euer humble vs, for if they doe not humble vs, assuredly they fall vpon vs.
2 It is a good property of faith, to fear the word when we see not Gods judgements: So believed Noah before the flood came. So feared Josiah and he had peace; so feared Habakkuk, chap. 3. This if we do we shall escape punishments, as those did; but if we do not, then we cannot escape.
