The Wicked Instruments of Punishment
Lamentations 2:22
You have called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained…


1. God raiseth up the wickedest, and employeth them to punish His own servants when they sin (Isaiah 5:26; Isaiah 8:7).

2. None can escape God's punishments, whom He meaneth to punish (Psalm 139:7).

3. The children of impenitent sinners are often taken away, and prosper not to their comfort. In God's displeasure all things are accursed unto us (Deuteronomy 28:15).

(J. Udall.)
