Bible Comments

The just Lord is in the midst thereof: though unjust princes, judges, prophets, and priests do not think so, yet the Lord who is most just is in the midst of them; possibly the sanhedrim; he observeth all, condemneth their violence and injustice, he is sovereign as Lord, and just as Judge. lie will not do iniquity; to him it appertaineth to judge all, therefore the unjust shall be punished as well as the just approved. Every morning doth he bring his judgment to light; daily he discovereth his displeasure against the wicked, and punisheth them. He faileth not; lets not one fit season slip to convince and awaken secure sinners, by public and visible punishments, or judgments. But the unjust knoweth no shame; but the wicked Jews proceed impudently, without shame, and without fear or amendment: there is no hope of better where is no shame for worst of doings, Jeremiah 3:3.
