Bible Comments

By the blessing of the upright Namely, by their sincere prayers, and wise, wholesome counsels, wherewith they bless their country; the city is exalted In dignity, power, and all kinds of prosperity; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked By their curses, oaths, blasphemies, and wicked, pernicious counsels, whereby they both provoke God, and mislead men to their own ruin.
