21. Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth. He was not indifferent to what they said. He dwelt among them in the
holy place, and, therefore, they insulted him to his face. So a fire was kindled against Jacob. The fire of his anger which was also attended with
literal burnings. And anger also came up against Israel. Whether he
viewed them in the lower or higher light, as Jacob or as Israel, he was angry
with them: even as mere men they ought to have believed him; and as chosen
tribes, their wicked unbelief was without excuse. The Lord does well to be
angry at so ungrateful, gratuitous and dastardly an insult as the questioning
of his power.
