Thus it was here, they regarded not what God said in his Word. Idolaters are very stout against the Word of God and contemn it. There are no commands no commands no rebukes of God in his Word, but they stand out against them; Poor vile worms that they are! who are they that they should dare to stand out against the rebukes of the infinite holy God? Know, howsoever thy spirit swells against this Word of God, it will certainly cast thee. The Psalmist in Psal. 76.6. saith, At thy rebukes O God, the Chariots and Horse-men are cast into a dead sleep; And so Psal. 80.16. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance; And Psal, 104.7. At thy rebuke they fled, And Psal. 18.15. The foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebukes. The rebukes of God they have a great deal of power in them, and Heaven & Earth cannot stand before the rebukes of God, how then can that stubborn heart of thine stand out against them?
