Bible Comments

Art thou made of the king's counsel? who art thou that presumest to direct and govern my affairs, without my commission? Why shouldest thou be smitten? provoke me no further, lest I cause thee to be killed for thy sauciness. I know that God hath determined to destroy thee: this he might know, either by the plain and positive rules of God's word, as Proverbs 29:1, or by the suggestion of God's Spirit.
