10. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked. Like
refractory horses and mules, they have many cuts and bruises. Here and
hereafter the portion of the wicked is undesirable. Let those who boast of
present sinful joys remember the shall be of the future, and take
warning. But he that trusteth in the Lord,mercy shall compass him about. Faith is here placed as the opposite of
wickedness, since it is the source of virtue. Faith in God is the great charmer
of life’s cares, and he who possesses it dwells in an atmosphere of grace,
surrounded with a bodyguard of mercies. The wicked have a hive of wasps around
them, many sorrows; but we have a swarm of bees storing honey for us.
