3. While a man lives in sin, he is in danger to be crossed and cursed of God in every thing he doth: he shall have no portion from God, nor inheritance from the Almighty, Job 31. ver. 2. Good things will be restrained from him, Isaiah 59.2. And he may find himself cursed in every thing he sets his hand to, Deut. 28.16, 17, 18, &c. His very blessings may be cursed, Mal. 2.2. His very table may be a snare. For, certainly God will be revenged of the sinful man, that is alive in sin, Nah. 1.2, 3, 6.
