Ezra9:14
Verſe 14. Should we again break thy Commandements] There is ſo much unthankfulneſſe and diſingenuity in ſuch an entertainment of mercy, that holy Ezra here thinkes that Heaven and Earth would be aſhamed of it. And joyn in affinity with the people of theſe abominations] Eſpecially when we may hear God himſelf ſcreeching out as it were thoſe words of his, Oh do not this abominable thing! Save your ſelves from this untoward generation, &c!
Wouldſt thou not be angry with us?] Id eſt, Chide us, ſmite us, and ſo ſet it on, as no creature ſhould be able to take it off? Sin may move God, when we ask bread and fiſh to feed us, to anſwer us with a ſtone to bruiſe us, or a Serpent to bite us. Shun it therefore as a Serpent in your way, or as poyſon in your meats. Kiſſe the Son, leſt he be angry, and ye periſh from the way, &c.Pſal. 2.12.
So that there ſhould be no remnant] So that our late preſervation ſhould prove but a reſervation to further miſchief; as was Sodoms, Senacheribs, Pharaohs.
