Vers. 4. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Vers. 4. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the yeere of my redeemed is come.
IN the first member of this verse,1 the Prophet signifies that God will not cease to perform his office: though he executes not his judgements at the first but defers them to a fit opportunity which he foresees to be best fitting. Neither indeed ought we to prescribe unto him either the time when, or the manner how he is to do this or that; but to commit it as well to his secret counsel, as leave unto him the time when to execute all things, according to his good pleasure. Let us not think then that he sleeps, or is idle, when he defers.
