Or take it for the act of hope (as others) he shall loath his hope; 1that is, the very hope which he hath had shall be grievous and vexatious to him; nothing shall grieve him more then this, that he hath hoped so much. His hope shall grieve and afflict him as bad as all his afflictions; Raised expectations disappointed, prove our greatest sorrows. That man sinks lowest in grief, whose heart was highest in hope. How extremely shall the hypocrite be grieved, who falls as low as hell, when his hopes were raised up as high as heaven? The hypocrite both in his way, and in his end is like the King of Babylon. He saith in his heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the most high, yet, he shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit, Isa. 14.13, 14.
