Observe.
That a wicked man is in danger wheresoever he is: He cannot set his foot over the threshold but mischief may arrest him; the Lord said to Cain, If thou doest ill, sin lies at the door; that is, (according to the ordinary interpretation) punishment lies at the door, it lies at the door, yea it will draw the latch, or turn the Key and come in at the door; There is no evil but a wicked man is subject to it; as there is no good, but is the inheritance of a godly man, who is therefore called an heir of the promise. He that is an heir of the promise, hath all the good things of this life, and of the next for his inheritance. When he goeth forth, mercy hath him by the hand, yea mercy lies under his feet, and holds a canopy of protection over his head. A wicked man is an heir of the curse, and therefore he always stands under the droppings of Divine anger; his breast is the Butt or Mark at which God levels the deadly Arrows of his indignation, and he is waited for of the Sword.
