Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

It is true, they brought their troubles upon themselves by their sins; it was for them that God punished them; but it was for the peculiarity of their covenant, and the singularities of their religion, that their neighbours hated and persecuted them.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

If we wish them God speed, we are partakers of their evil deeds, 2 John 11 . When it is said, None will bless them, and show them respect, more is implied, namely, that all wise and good people will cry out shame on them, and beg of God to defeat them; and woe to those that have the prayers of the saints against them.
