First, Simeon and Levi that had committed a great murder,1 he reproved them, although indeed I think with too much lenity, saying, Ye have troubled me, &c. In which words he aggravates the fault from the mischief it was like to bring upon himself, not mentioning the sinfulness against God, perhaps because he saw their temper to be such, that they would little regard the sin, but would be somewhat moved with the danger; but on his death-bed he is justly severe, saying, Cursed be their rage, for it was fierce; and their fury, 2for it was cruel: as in the former verse he had said, O my soul, come not thou into their secret; therefore also doth he disinherit them, saying, I will divide them, &c.
