Ecclesiastes 8:11
_ _ The reason why the wicked persevere in sin: God’s delay in judgment (Matthew 24:48-51; 2 Peter 3:8, 2 Peter 3:9). “They see not the smoke of the pit, therefore they dread not the fire” [South], (Psalms 55:19). Joab’s escape from the punishment of his murder of Abner, so far from “leading him to repentance,” as it ought (Romans 2:4), led him to the additional murder of Amasa. |
Ecclesiastes 8:11
Therefore — God's forbearance makes them presumptuous and secure. |
Ecclesiastes 8:11
