7. Thou, even thou, art to be feared. The fear
of man is a snare, but the fear of God is a great virtue, and has great power
for good over the human mind. Let all worship be to him only. And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? The angels fell when their
rebellion provoked his justice; Adam lost his place in Paradise in the same
manner; Pharaoh and other proud monarchs passed away at his frown; neither is
there in earth or hell any who can abide the terror of his wrath. How blest are
they who are sheltered in the atonement of Jesus, and hence have no cause to
fear the righteous anger of the Judge of all the earth.
