That God delights to receive his people in their fears with suitable, 1and seasonable mercies. Jacob was never in greater fears than at those two times, yet now the Lord comes at this time of his great straits, and tells him now of multiplying of him to many Nations, and that Kings should come out of his loins; at that time when he was afraid that the Nations should come and destroy all that belonged to him, at that time God tells him that Kings should come out of his loins: Oh! the Lord delights to revive his people in their fears, and doth come with suitable mercies to them.
