On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

For the righteous Lord will cut in sunder the cords of the wicked, Ps. cxxix. They are by long custom and confirmed habits so hardened in sin that they cannot get clear of it. Those that sin through infirmity are drawn away by sin; those that sin presumptuously draw iniquity to them, in spite of the oppositions of Providence and the checks of conscience.
