5. His ways are always grievous. To himself they are hard. God has
hedged-up the way of sin. O what folly to leap these hedges and fall among the
thorns! To others, also, his ways cause much sorrow and vexation; but what cares
he? Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. He looks high, but not
high enough. As God is forgotten, so are his judgments. He is not able to
comprehend the things of God; a swine may sooner look through a telescope at
the stars than this man study the Word of God to understand the righteousness
of the Lord. As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He defies and
domineers; and when men resist his injurious behavior, he sneers at them, and
threatens to annihilate them with a puff. There is one enemy who will not thus
be puffed at. Death will puff at the candle of his life and blow it out, and
the wicked boaster will find it grim work to brag in the tomb.
