Thirdly, they have provoked God so far, that he is purposed to execute his judgments upon them, & therefore they are left to themselves, to take such a way, as will work them woe, but do them no good. For it hath been already declared in the former chapter, ⟨p. 150⟩vers. 21. that though hand join in hand the wicked shall not be unpunished. And this maketh them liable to the curse that Jeremiah denounceth, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and withdraweth his heart from the Lord. Jeremiah 17. 5.
Thirdly, they haue prouoked God so far, yt he is purposed to excute his iudgments vpon them, & therfore they are left to themselues, to take such a way, as will worke them woe, but doe them no good. For it hath been alreadie declared in the former chapter, ⟨p. 150⟩vers. 21. that though hand ioyne in hand the wicked shall not be vnpunished. And this maketh them liable to the curse that Ieremy denounceth, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arme, and withdraweth his heart from the Lord. Ieremie 17. 5.
Use. 1 Instruction to continue our faithfulness, that God may continue his favour and goodness to us. If we seek him in our prosperity, we shall find him in our adversity: if we serve him in our best safety, we shall be preserved in our greatest perils: if our hearts be open to receive his word, his eyes will be open to see our distresses, and we shall not need to sue to the wicked men for aide and protection.
