Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Temporal deliverances are indeed wrought for us in mercy when with them there is holiness, when there is wrought in us a disposition to receive them with love and gratitude to God; when we are sanctified, they are sanctified to us.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

ye . . . upon my holy mountain--a periphrasis for, "ye Jews" [MAURER], whom Obadiah now by a sudden apostrophe addresses. The clause, "upon My holy mountain," expresses the reason of the vengeance to be taken on Judah's foes; namely, that Jerusalem is God's holy mountain, the seat of His temple, and Judah His covenant-people.
