Observe.
That sins committed against light, leave the soul in the greatest darkness: A sin committed in the darkness of ignorance, deserves yet to be punished with darkness, even with everlasting darkness; much more those sins which are committed, not only in, but against the light of knowledge. Some shall perish for want of light; they cannot but perish who live and dye in the abuse of light. Many shall perish because they have not stretched forth their hands according to the light received, to work for God; how deeply then shall they perish, who in the midst of received light, stretch out their hands to work wickedness against God?
That sins committed against light, leave the soule in the greatest darknesse: A sin committed in the darknesse of ignorance, deserves yet to be punished with darknesse, even with everlasting darknesse; much more those sins which are committed, not onely in, but against the light of knowledge. Some shall perish for want of light; they cannot but perish who live and dye in the abuse of light. Many shall perish because they have not stretched forth their hands according to the light received, to worke for God; how deeply then shall they perish, who in the midst of received light, stretch out their hands to work wickednesse against God?
Fourthly, Eliphaz describes the wicked man stretching out his hand; that is, all the power which God hath trusted him with, to provoke God with.
