39. For he remembered that they were but flesh. They were forgetful of God, but he was mindful of them. He dealt
leniently with them. Though in this he saw no excuse for their sin, yet he
constrained it into a reason for mercy; the Lord is ever ready to discover some
plea or other upon which he may have compassion. A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. Spirit and wind are in this alike, so far as our
humanity is concerned; they pass and cannot be recalled. What a nothing is our
life. How gracious on the Lord’s part to make our insignificance an argument
for staying his wrath.
