7. Yet they say, the Lord shall not see. When people believe that the eyes of God are
dim, there is no reason to wonder that they give full license to their brutal
passions. Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. How dare the ungodly
assert that he will not notice the wrongs done to God’s people? There is no
limit to the proud profanity of the proud; reason itself cannot restrain them;
they have broken through the bounds of common sense. Jacob’s God heard him at
the brookJabbok; Jacob’s God led him and kept him all his life long, and said
concerning him and his family, “Touch not
mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”; and yet these brutish ones profess to believe that he neither sees
nor regards the injuries wrought upon the elect people! Surely in such
unbelievers is fulfilled the saying of the wise, that those whom the Lord means
to destroy he leaves to the madness of their corrupt hearts.
