15. Let them wander up and down for meat. Like
dogs that have missed the expected carcass, let them go up and down
dissatisfied, snapping at one another, and too disappointed to be quiet and
take the matter easily. And grudge if they be not satisfied. Let them
act like those who cannot believe that they lost their prey: like a herd of
oriental dogs, let them prowl about seeking a prey which they will never find.
Thus the menial followers of Saul paraded the city in vain hope of satisfying
their malice and their master. The restlessness of wicked men will increase as
their enmity to God increases, and in hell it will be their infinite torment.
What is the state of the lost but the condition of an ambitious camp of rebels
who have espoused a hopeless cause and will not give it up, but are impelled by
their raging passions to rave on against the cause of God’s truth, and of his
people.
