11 "Thus says the Lord GOD , 'Clap your hand , stamp your foot and say , " Alas , because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel , which will fall by sword , famine and plague !
It is our duty to be affected, not only with our own sins and sufferings, but to look with compassion upon the miseries wicked people bring upon themselves. Sin is a desolating thing; therefore, stand in awe, and sin not. If we know the worth of souls, and the danger to which unbelievers are exposed, we shall deem every sinner who takes refuge in Jesus from the wrath to come, an abundant recompence for all contempt or opposition we may meet with.
