Affliction and trouble, which are the fruit of sin, pull down, and lay us wast, godly sorrow and repentance, which are our turning from sin, have a promise of this good fruit, That we shall be built up again.

Affliction and trouble, which are the fruit of sin, pull downe, and lay us wast, godly sorrow and repentance, which are our turning from sin, have a promise of this good fruit, That we shall be built up againe.

:753p. 235

This building up, may be taken two ways; first, more generally for an increase in all good things; secondly, more specially for an increase in children. In the Hebrew the same word,¹ which signifies a son, signifies, to build, because children build up their fathers house, or are their fathers building; in that sense the word is often used, (Gen. 16.2. Gen. 30.3. Ruth 4.11.) It is said (Exod. 1.21.) that God built the midwives houses; which some interpret, he gave them children,² or made them more fruitful in child-bearing. We read in rhe law how that man was to be dealt with, who refused to take his brothers wife, according to the commandment of God in those times, and the conclusion of all is (Deut. 25.9.) So it shall be done to the man that shall not build up his brothers house, that is, who refuseth to marry his brothers widow, and (through the blessing of God) to have children by her, which would be as the building up of his house, or the continuance of his name and family. Thus some understand the phrase here; Thou shalt be built up, that is, thou, who hast lost all thy children; Thou, whose house hath been pulled down by the fall of a house (Ch. 1.19.) shalt have more children, and so thy house built up again. But I rather take the phrase here in that larger sense, and so to be built up, implieth all kind of prosperity in outward things. (
