Or, as Master Broughton renders, who can disturb? Who can disease those to whom God gives ease, or oppress those to whom God gives protection? The words bear the signification of a divine challenge, like that, (Rom. 8.31.) If God be for us, who can be against us? or like that (vers. 34.) Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? Let us see the man, or the devil, that can charge the elect and prevail. Such is the Emphasis of the present […], When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? Where is the man, high or low, great or small that can do it?

Further, the word which we translate make trouble, hath a threefold eminent signification in Scripture.
First, It signifieth to be wicked, or to do wickedly; thus we read it at the 12th verse of this chapter, Surely God will not do wickedly. He that is altogether holy and righteous, doth all things holily and righteously. The same word signifieth to do wickedly, and to make trouble, because to do wickedly bringeth trouble often upon others, always upon the doers.
