Verse 6

Verse 6

They are worthy; they deserve this retribution.

Verse 11

Verse 11

And repented not of their deeds. Experiencing the bitter fruits and consequences of sin has little tendency to bring men to repentance and salvation in this life; and we have no reason to expect any different result in the life to come. Ruin brought by transgression induces, not sorrow and repentance, but a certain insane resentment and despair.

Verse 15

Verse 15

Verse 16

Verse 19

Verse 19

Verse 21

Verse 21
