2. Shame arises from long delay, or detainments much beyond expectation. When Moses staid long in the Mount, the people were ashamed (Exod. 32.1.) So Judg. 3.25. when Eglon staid long in the inner parlour, the text saith, his servants, who waited without, were ashamed.
3. Shame ariseth from utter disappointments. If hope deferred causeth shame, then much more hope destroyed. When a man sees his hopes quite cut off, so that he can no way reach the thing he looked for, shame takes hold of him strongly. David prays (Psal. 119.116.) Uphold me according to thy word, that I may live, and let me not be ashamed of my hope; that is, let me not lose my hope, for then I shall be ashamed; my enemies will rejoice and hoot at me, where's the word upon which you trusted to be upholden? Read Isa. 19.9. Psal. 27.6. Psal. 119.116. In all which Scriptures we find shame following the total frustration and disappointment of hope.
