And upon them that are left alive of you
on Leviticus 26:36-39
The last of it is done to the mind. A shaken leaf chases them, they fall over each other with no sword behind them, and the fear promised back at verse 17 has become the whole of their condition. Pine away falls twice in verse 39, once for their own iniquity and once for the iniquities of their fathers, so the survivors carry two accounts at the same time.

): They shall pine away in their iniquity, and how should they then live? Note, It is a righteous thing with God to leave those to despair of pardon that have presumed to sin; and it is owing to free grace if we are not abandoned to pine away in the iniquity we were born in and have lived in.
