VER. 10.
It is in my desire that I should chastise them.
IT is in my desire.] God speaks here as one that hath forborne a long time, and now longs to satisfy himself.
IT is in my desire.] God speaks here as one that hath forborn a long time, and now longs to satisfie himself.
Tremelius upon the place notes,1 that the form of the word for chastising here, it is unusual, because (saith he) perhaps God would express some more than ordinary way of punishing them. And Luther renders it,* Exceeding desirously will I chastise them. It is in my will to chastise them. Oh! blessed God, do not we find in thy Word that the Works of thy Justice are said to be thy strange Works, and that thou art not willing to grieve the children of men, that mercy pleases thee? but where do we ever find that Justice was so pleasing to thee?
