Philistia makes up the last brought to judgment in this Chapter, for hatred to God's people; and not the least in the soreness of it. Reader! do not overlook the sweet consolations such reviews hold forth to the Lord's people, in that, while the Lord corrects his children as a father corrects them; and as proofs of his love, his displeasure is called forth to any, and to every enemy of his people as judgments, who take pleasure in the sorrows of his redeemed, and thwart them with reproaches while smarting under them. Hebrews 12:5-11.
