Psalms82:7
1. Ye shall fall from the highest pinnacle of honour and reputation. The place of magistracy, which knoweth you now, will know you no more. One of the ancients, standing by Caesars tomb, crieth out, Ubi nunc pulchritudo Caesaris? quo abiit magnificentia ejus? Where is now the beauty; what is become of the magnificence; where are the armies now; where the honours, the triumphs, the trophies of Caesar? All was gone when Caesar was gone. You honours and your worships, your power, and your places, all die with you, if not before you.
2. Ye fall from your greatest treasures and possessions. As ye brought nothing into the world, so it is certain ye shall carry nothing out of the world. 1 Ti 6:7. Saladin, the mighty monarch of the east, is gone, and hath carried no more along with him than ye see —i.e., a shirt hung up for that purpose —said the priest that went before the bier.
3. Ye fall from all your friends and relations; when ye die, they that were near and dear to you will leave you. George Swinnock.
