A people as well as a person, may and shall be troubled, even ⟨p. 645⟩at the midnight of their greatest security, if God give the word. I make peace (saith the Lord, Isa: 45.7.) and create evil; that is, the evil of trouble. There will be occasion afterward to speak further of this point from those words (v. 29.) When he giveth quietness, who can give trouble, and when he hideth his face, who can behold him? Whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only; trouble of all sorts is at the command of God; if he saith to such or such a mischief, go to a nation, it will go; if he bid the sword trouble them, if he bid pestilence trouble them, if he bid famine trouble them, if he bid their own divisions trouble them, the people shall be troubled; yea, they shall be troubled at midnight.
