What it is to be a worker of iniquity, was opened at the 8th verse of this chapter, and thither I refer the reader. Only in general know, Workers of iniquity are more then ordinary sinners, they are cunning at the committing, and cunning at the hiding of sin. Some are but bunglers at sin, they cannot sin with such an hellish skill as others do, and when they have sinned, they have not the art of hiding it; but others are (as we say) their crafts-masters both ways, and they are properly called workers of iniquity. Yet (saith Elihu) the very workers of iniquity, they that make it their profession, their study, and their business to do evil, and to hide the evil they have done, to work mischief in the dark, and to keep their works in the dark, even they cannot be hid in any darkness. And when the Text saith, there is no darkness, &c. wherein the workers of iniquity may hide themselves; the meaning of it is, they stand naked, and in the open light before the eyes of God.
