Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
Ver. 24. Some men's sins] The Judge of the earth keepeth his petty sessions now, letting the law pass upon some few, reserving the rest till the great assizes. Some wicked God punisheth here, lest his providence, but not all, lest his patience and promise of judgment, should be called into question, as Augustine hath observed.
