Men when they embrace their own vain conceits, and hopes, and false ways; they think they have gotten a 1great catch; but the truth is they embrace their own ruin: Mark how they are put together, Increase lies, and desolation is the fruit of lies; and secondly, desolation is increased by lies; the more sin the more desolation, you will perish the more dreadfully, in Prov. 19. 8. A false witness (saith the text) shall not be unpunished, and be that speaketh lies shall perish. He that walks uprightly he walks surely. Prov. 12. 19. The lip of Truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment; it may bluster a while and keep ado, and deceive many, yea, but it is but for a moment. It follows; And they do make a Covenant with the Assyrians; and Oil is carried into Egypt.
