They shall see it and be confounded.] He makes it very apparent, that this beholding is not the same whereof he spake before, when he said, that the wicked saw not the majesty of the Lord: for they saw it well enough, but they regarded it not. Notwithstanding, at the last they shall see it, although too late, and to their great disadvantage. For having a long time abused the patience of God, in showing themselves obstinate and rebellious,1 they shall be constrained in the end to take knowledge of his judgements. Thus albeit Cain, Esau, and the like (who repented their sins too late) fled from Gods presence, yet in despite of their teeth they were made both to see and feel that he was their Judge: Gen. 4.13. and 27.38.
