I hope that the Reader will find cause in these verses, as in the former, to watch the Lord's over-ruling providence in the things here related. For what but that Almighty power, which worketh for his own glory and his people's welfare, could have stayed the mind of the King to suspend his wrath, and stop the execution of his decree. For so absolute were those monarchs, that none dared oppose them. And yet here is a poor youth, a foreigner, yea, a captive, hath influence, when the wise men could not be heard. And who but the Lord God of Israel could have wrought this? Oh! how sure and how blessed is that certain truth. Proverbs 31:1.
