Thirdly, The joy of an hypocrite is but for a moment. It is a perishing joy. This is the joy of his way; you see what it amounts to, how well it last. His greenness is turned into withering, his root rots, and his fruit falls off. This is his joy. He is like those spoken of in the Epistle of Jude (vers. 14.) Trees twice dead, and plucked up by the roots. That's the conclusion of the hypocrite: he hath a name to live, but he is dead, twice dead, naturally dead in sin, and judicially dead under wrath: he was born spiritually dead, and his whole life is a passage to eternal death. He hath rejoiced a while, but he must mourn for ever. The portion of hypocrites is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Mat. 24.51.) Their joy is but for a morning or a day, weeping comes at night, & that night hath no morning after it.

And out of the earth shall others grow.
