Besides, Spirit is sometimes put for indignation, for fury, and wrath; in all which acceptions, the word may be rendered here, Thou turnest thy spirit, that is, thy anger and wrath, thy fury and indignation against God. So the word is used, Isa. 25.4. When the spirit, or blast of the terrible ones, is as a storm against the Wall; that is, while the fury of the terrible ones is in its highest march and motion, God promiseth to be a strength to the poor, a strength and a refuge to the needy in his distress: So Prov. 29.11. A fool uttereth all his mind, or all his spirit; that is, all his anger, he lets it out, and discovers himself presently; but a wise man (if there be cause of anger) keepeth it in till afterwards; that is, till a fit season. He hath a retentive faculty which a Fool hath not. Now, in which sense soever of these explained, we understand Spirit in the present Text, the charge is as high as it can go upon any man, when 'tis said, He turneth his Spirit against God.
