Lot, his righteous soul was vexed within him, for the wickedness of the Sodomites; 2 Pet. 2.8. And Jeremiah, his eyes run down with tears, for the iniquity of the people he lived amongst. And so Paul, I told you before, and now tell you weeping; there are wicked livers among you, that walk not according to the truth, Phil. 3.17, 18. Paul did not weep because he was miserable; but because he saw so many wicked, and abominable in their lives. So David, Psal. 119.136. Mine eyes run down with water, because men keep not thy Law. Ezek. 9.4.
