Bible Comments

Wisely considereth the house of the wicked; he looketh through its present power and glory (which dazzleth the eyes of others) unto that ruin to which it is designed. But, or now, or that, this being the thing which he wisely considereth, God overthroweth, or will overthrow in his due time, though for a season he bear with them.
