CHAP. XXIIII.

God in his prouidence knoweth when he wil punish the wicked, which his true seruants know not, much lesse the impious.

TIMES are not hid from the Omnipotent: but they [1] that know him, know not his daies. 2Some haue transferred bounds, spoiled flockes, & fed them. 3They haue driuen away the asse of pupils, and haue taken away the widowes oxe for a pledge. 4They haue subuerted the way of the poore, and haue oppressed together the meek of the earth. 5Others as wilde asses in the desert goe forth to their worke: watching to the prey, doe prepare bread for their children. 6They reape the field that is not theirs, and gather the grapes of his vineyard, whom by violence they haue oppressed. 7They send men away naked taking away their cloths, which haue no couering in the cold. 8Whom the showers of the mountaynes doe wash, and not hauing a couert, they embrace stones. 9They did violence spoyling the pupils, & the common poore people they spoyled. 10From the naked & them that goe without clothing, and the hungrie they haue taken away the eares of corne. 11They haue rested the noonetide among their heaps, which hauing troden the wine presses are a thirst. 12Out of the cities they haue made men to mourne, and the soule of the wounded hath cryed, & God doth not suffer it to passe vnreuenged: 13They haue been [2] rebellious to the light, they haue not knowen his wayes, neither did they returne by his pathes. 14At the verie break of day the murderer ryseth, he killeth the needie, and the poore man: but by night he wil be as a theefe. 15The eie of the aduouterer obserueth darknesse, saying: Eie shal not see me: and he wil couer his face. 16He diggeth through houses in the darke, as in the day they had appointed with themselues, and they haue not knowen the light. 17If sodainly the morning shal appeare, they thinke it the shadow of death: and they walke so in darknesse as it were in light. 18He is light aboue the face of the water: cursed be his portion in the earth, neither walke he by the way of the vineyards. 19Let him passe [3] from snow waters to exceeding heate, and his sinne euen vnto hel. 20Let mercie forget him: wormes his sweetnes: be he not in remembrance, but be he broken in pieces as an vnfruitful tree. 21For he hath fed the barren, and her that bareth not, and to the widow he hath not done good. 22He hath pulled downe the strong in his strength and when he shal stand, he wil not credit his life. 23God hath giuen

  1. ↑ Gods seruants know that he wil punish wickednes, but know not when: the wicked presume that he wil neuer punish them.
  2. ↑ Heretikes doing and teaching against their owne knowledge, are afterward strucken with blindnes, that they can not see the truth. S. Greg. li. 16. c. 26.
