That, until God be appeased towards a person or a people, there is no remedy for them in the world.

The proud helpers shall stoop under him. If the helpers themselves fall, who can rise by these helpers? if they are cast down, how shall we be upheld by them? What if the people of a provoking Nation associate themselves together, or associate themselves with other Nations, or call in help and aid from all that are round about them, shall they therefore escape in their wickedness? they shall not escape. Unless God help our helpers, they are helpless to us. When many companies, and great Commanders repaired to David at Ziklag, David went out to meet them (Chron. 12.17.) and said, If ye be come peaceably to help me, mine heart shall be knit to you, but if ye be come to betray me, &c. Amasai who was chief of the Captains, answers (v. 18.) Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers, for thy God helpeth thee! Our helpers cannot give us peace, unless God give them peace; our helpers must be helped by God, before they can give us help. The anger of God breaks all the staves we lean on, and makes them as reeds, which wound rather then support; till God is quiet all is unquiet, and when he is unpacified, men shall be unpacified, or their peace shall be to our loss. As if he with-draw his anger, enemies shall oppose in vain: so except he with-draw his anger, friends shall help in vain.
