John Trapp on Zechariah 7:13

Verſe 13. Therefore it is come [illegible: 1 letter]o paſſe] By a moſt juſt and equall retaliation. Diſtributive juſtice requireth that men ſhould be puniſhed according to the nature,Prov. 14.14 and kind of their offences. The back-ſlider in heart ſhall be filled with his own wayes: As he makes a match with miſchief, ſo he ſhall have his belly-full of it: he hath ſold himſelf to do wickedneſſe, and he ſhall be ſure to hav[illegible: 1 letter] his payment. With the froward God will ſhew himſelf froward, Pſal. 18.26. he will be as croſſe as they are, for the hearts of them. If they turn the deaf ear to to him, hee'll do as much for them another time. They ſhall call and cry for help till their hearts and ſides ake, but all in vain: hee'll not come at them. If they pull away the ſhoulder, he will pull away their ſupporters, and they ſhall be overthrown in ſtony places, Pſal. 141.6. If they harden their hearts, he will harden his hand, and haſten their deſtruction. This ſhall they have of Gods hand,Eſay 50. they ſhall lie down in ſorrow.
