Verse 13. If God will not with-draw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Verse 13. If God will not with-draw his anger, the proud helpers doe stoop under him.
Though, If God taketh away none can hinder him; though none ought to say unto him, What doest thou? whatsoever he doth: yet possibly some will be venturing upon this hard task, and undertake this impossible adventure, attempting to recover Gods booty, and his prisoners out of his hand: but see the issue, If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. Suppose any should come to help, protect and patronize those whom God hath a mind to take away and destroy, shall they prosper or speed? No, not only they themselves whom the Lord hath taken away, but their assistants, and their seconds, all that appear for them (except God call in his anger) shall fall before him.
