23. For the ungodly a sure, terrible, and fatal overthrow is appointed.
Climb as they may, the pit yawns for them. God himself will cause them
to descend into it, and destruction there will be their portion. Bloody and deceitful men, with double iniquity of cruelty and craft upon them, will not live out half their days. They will be cut off in their quarrels, or
being disappointed in their artifices, vexation will end them. They were in
heart murderers of others, and they became in reality self-murderers. Doubt not
that virtue lengthens life, and that vice tends to shorten it. But I will trust in thee. A very wise, practical conclusion. We can have not better
ground of confidence. The Lord is all, and more than all that faith can need as
the foundation of peaceful dependence.
