And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty…


1. Because their plots were a failure.

2. Because their cruelty was unavailing.

3. Because they had exasperated an enemy they could not subdue Half the grief of the world is occasioned by the failure of wicked and cruel purposes.
