Therefore — Because I would do for you whatever might be done. Hewed them — I have severely, and unweariedly reproved, and threatened them. By thy words — As I did by word foretel, so I did effect in due time. Thy judgments — The punishments threatened, which fell upon this people, did so fully answer the prediction that every one might see them clear as the light, and as constantly executed as the morning.
