Secondly, in striking at men with contumelious and proud §2words, they also lift up themselves insolently against the Lord, and therefore both in defence of his people, and revenge of his enemies, he maketh their stripes to light on their own backs, and the strokes of their rods to fall on their own faces. To that end speaketh David in the twelfth Psalm. The Lord will cut off 1all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things. Which have said, with our tongue will we prevail: our lips are in our own power: who is Lord over us? And to the same effect he2 prayeth in another Psalm: Scatter them abroad by thy power, and put them down, O Lord our shield, for the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride, even for their perjury and lies. And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, even to the ends of the world.
