Verse 14. Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be as a spiders web. Verse 15. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
The hypocrite clings about the object of his hope, as a man that is ready to drown takes hold on any thing, upon a straw or a rotten stick; but though he lean upon his house, it shall not stand, &c.
These words contain the second similitude, which is both a confirmation and a further illustration of the former; for having concluded in the 13. verse with these words, The hypocrites hope shall perish; he (as it were) doubleth and resumeth it here again, Whose hope shall be cut off and whose trust shall be a spiders web.
