And when it is thus, it concerns such a People to apply these things to themselves: It becomes them not now to take exceptions and grow into a rage, but to lay them to heart. These things are of God, and not in vain: They alarm a People to prepare to meet their God; and if by repentance they are not rendered healing to them, they will prove killing words: The sword of his mouth will hew them in pieces, Hos. 6. 5. I have hewed them by my Prophets, and slain them by the words of my mouth. God is not wont to let such words perish, and come to nought; yea, though he may defer to accomplish, yet he will not disannul them: They may be deferred a while, but they lie in reserve against the due time.
