Vers. 25. Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
For as much as God breaketh them, it is an argument that he knoweth what they are, and what they have been doing; There is a threefold reading of these words.
First, Some read them as implying God's making others to know their works, God maketh the secret sins of men visible,1 by his visible judgements. Wrath seen, may give us a sight of sin. Some insist much upon this exposition; and 'tis a truth, the Lord by his judgments brings to light, and doth as it were spread open, as in the face of the Sun, the wickedness and wicked deeds of mighty men: that all may know his judgements are deserved by their works, he makes their works known.
