20. For they speak not peace. They
love it not; how can they speak it? They are such troublers themselves that
they cannot judge others to be peaceable. Out of the mouth comes what is in the
heart. They devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in theland. David would have been an ordinary citizen, but they labored to make
him a rebel. He could do nothing aright; all his dealings were misrepresented.
Unscrupulous partisans could even charge Jesus with seeking to overturn Caesar;
much more will they thus accuse his household. Those who stand up for the crown
rights of King Jesus are called enemies of the church, friends of atheists, red
republicans, and it were hard to say what besides.
