This admiring Interrogation includes a Negation. Was the Lord kindled against the Rivers, was thy face against the Rivers, &c. was it that the deep had offended the most high, that by thine Angels, ⟨p. 37⟩winds and clouds, thou diddest so disturb the floods in their ancient course, and madest naked their hidden channels, until the hoary deep cried out for fear, and lifted up his aged hands to the Almighty as it were for pity, v. 10? No surely, no such thing; All those keep the order by thee unto them appointed; it was all for the salvation and deliverance of thy people. God was not angry with Jordan when he drove it back, nor with the Sea when he divided it, but all was effected for Israels deliverance.
