Observe, thirdly, The hope of hypocrites will deceive and fail them. God rejects their confidences, they shall not prosper in them, Jer. 2.37.
Lastly, Observe, That to lose our hope is the utmost of evils.
Bildad doth not say that the hypocrite is damned, and shall go to hell, and endure the wrath of God for ever: This one expression, Their hope shall perish, amounts to all this and more, if more can be. Do but sit down and imagine in your thoughts, and contrive the utmost of all evils felt by men, yea, the utmost (were it possible) of all the evils of punishment that are in the thoughts of God, and all are wrapped up and comprehended in this one word, Their hope shall perish. Hell, and wrath, and fire, and brimstone, and the worm that never dies meet in this one word.
