They, these poor men, who, when they are exalted and blessed by God, kick at him, and grow insolent and secure, as the returner of men is, are minished and brought low; are by God's just judgment diminished in their numbers and in their blessings. Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow; or, through wicked oppression, (by the tyranny of others, whom God sends to spoil them of their abused riches,) and by other griefs or grievous calamities which God inflicts.
