Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 140:11

(second clause.) Theme —Sins committed, and not repented of, pursue men to their ruin.

1. Illustrate. a) They may raise a force of opposition from men. Tarquin, Napoleon, etc. b) They may precipitate ruin, as Haman was hunted by his own sin to the gallows. c) They may arouse destructive remorse, as in Judas. d) Certainly they will pursue to the judgment seat, and hunt the soul into hell.

2. Apply. a) How fearful a thing must sin be. b) The mole terrible because self created. c) Flee from the avenging pursuers to Christ, the only and safe refuge. —J. F.
