Mercy shall be sure to David's soul, and the rod as sure to David's sin. I will chastise him with the rod of men. But be sure never to rejoice when evil finds him, nor suffer thy lips to sin, by wishing a curse to his soul, Job, xxxi. If any lack wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth liberally and upbraideth not. The matter I obtain this way I am bold to preach, though it differ from the judgment of commentators.
Grace be with thee.
