When they brag most how well the world goes with them, and what hope they have of effecting their bad purposes, some great evil is even at their doors. When men boast in their talk, and swords are in their lips (as David speaketh) then the Lord will have them in derision, 1and laugh at their destruction. When they fall to bragging, God falls to laughing: and when their swords are drawn out against others, the Lords hand is stretched out against them. When Pharaoh in the pride of his heart said, Who is the Lord? God made him know who he was. 2And when the enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake them, (meaning the Israelites) I will divide the spoil, &c: then the Lord set in against them, and made the Sea to cover them, so that they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
