Proverbs28:9
Verſ. 9. He that turneth away his ear from hearing, &c.] Heb. that cauſeth his ear to decline the Law, that wilfully ſlights the opportunities of hearing, and frames excuſe, truſting to his good prayers (as they call it) and conceits that he can better beſtow his time at home: this man prayes for a curſe, and ſhall have it, as Saul had; He would not hear Samuel; God will not hear nor anſwer him in his diſtreſſe. This was (as the Hebrews call it) Menſuram contra menſuram, to pay him home in his own coyn.Prov. 14.2[illegible: 1 letter] The back-ſlider in heart ſhall be filled with his own wayes. See the Note on chap. 1.28.
Even his prayer ſhall be abominable] See Chap. 15.8.
