Reflections on Chapter 2
Alas, what fearful punishment do injuries
done to God’s people incur! And at what expense and labor demand destroy one
another! But terrible are the weakest nations when God animates them; and
pitiful and dastardly the most mighty and numerous when he fights against them.
Unavailing are honor, wealth, number, or valor, in the day of his wrath. And it
is terrible to have our consciences laden with guilt in an evil day, in which
everything dear is taken from us. Awful is it for men to damn their souls by
fraudulent attempts to aggrandize themselves and families: and dreadful is the
case of oppressors, murderers, and blasphemers, when God rises up to punish
them, and death and hell shut their mouths.
