God assureth sinful man that he shall smart for it, unless he hearken and obey.
God assureth sinfull man that he shall smart for it, unlesse he hearken and obey.
It is as sure that he shall, as if he saw it under hand and seal;1 or as if the sentence were engraven upon his conscience, and sixth before his eyes. If the ear be not obedient to instruction, the back must submit to correction; If the word will not do it, the rod must; if teaching will not serve the turn, chastening shall; He sealeth their correction. Every correction threatened is not certainly inflicted; for Elihu saith afterward (v. 26.) He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable to him; but the meaning is, mans correction is sealed in case he proceeds on in his sin; if he does not give proof that his ear is opened by his obedience to instruction, there is no escaping correction. The correction of the dearest children of God is sealed, if they hear and do not. God will not cocker his stubborn children, nor spoil them by sparing the rod; He will certainly meet with them one time or other, either by sickness, or poverty, or reproach; the order the warrant is sealed for their correction.
