For thou hast hid thy face from us, and we are consumed because of our iniquities.
Sin makes God hide his face from us, and then we are consumed, because of our iniquities. We melt away in the hand of our iniquities, as the word is. Indeed sin is a cruel tyrant, when God leaves us in the hand of our sins, he leaves us in a cruel hand. Christ came to redeem us from our sins, our sins are they that torment us, it is very significant in the Original.

We are melted, 1we melt away as wax before the fire, as snow before the Sun, because of our iniquities, when God gives up men to be handled as their own sins will handle them. Nations melt before the hands of sin, and Kings and Kingdoms and all. Let God give up men to delight in sin, Kingdoms, or persons, they melt and moulder away in the hand of their sins.
