Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
Ver. 32. Then will I visit their transgression with the rod] The sins of the saints are transgressions, yea, they are treacheries, and shall be visited with the rod; yea, with the rod of men, 2 Samuel 7:14, of weak, sickly, frail men, as the word there signifieth, that have but weak hands, and can give no hard blows; such shall rather see God's care than feel his power in their sufferings. Only they shall see that he will not pass by their sins without a sensible check.
