Shall I then.
flesh.
Heb. slaughter.
give it.
whom.
 (John 9:29). This is how man treated the rejected Jesus; he despises His sovereign grace without apprehending His power in judgment and without thinking that this judgment is at the door. Nabal speaks of his bread, of his water, of his meat, and of his goods as though they belonged to him, and this at the very moment when calamity is about to strike him personally along with all that belongs to him. (1 Samuel 25 by H.L. Rossier)
