Isaiah 30:27-33

I hope that the Reader is, by this time, so well acquainted with scripture, as to need not the remark how, all along, the Lord is forever blending, judgment with mercy. Here we have, as in many other places in the word of God, the horrible punishment of the despisers of God and of his Christ; while we have been comforted with the blessings of those that love and fear him. And in all periods of the Church we find these united predictions constantly and faithfully fulfilled. And the people of God are called upon to bless God, when the Lord puts down their enemies before their face. They have a song as in the night. Witness the case in Egypt, Exodus 15:1, etc. Witness the same in Babylon, Psalms 137:8. And the final triumph of God's people is described the same, when standing on the sea of glass, and singing the song of Moses and of the Lamb: Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, for thou only art holy? For all nations shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest! Revelation 15:2.
