When God comes to bring the guilt of sin, and the punishment 1of sin on a mans own head and there leaves it upon him, that's sad indeed. We read in 2 Sam. 12. 13. there it is said, when Nathan came and rebuked David for his sin, David confessed his sin, and saith Nathan to him, The Lord hath put away thy sin; the word is translated by some thus, The Lord hath made thy sin to pass away; Oh that's a happiness 2indeed, when it may be said of God, he doth make the sin and the guilt to pass away from the sinner, that's a happiness. But on the other side, when God shall leave the sin upon the sinner, leave the guilt of the sin upon him, as if God should say, here's the guilt of sin upon the head of such a man, and let it abide and lie, he shall leave his blood upon him, as in Ezek. 22. 20. the Lord saith, He will bring them into the fire, and leave them there; the Lord many times brings his Saints into the fire of afflictions, Oh but he will not leave them there: but when he brings the wicked into the fire, he leaves them there. And his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
