<p>Note, 1. Scorners are fools. Those that ridicule things sacred and serious do but make themselves ridiculous. <i>Their folly shall be manifest unto all men</i>. 2. Those that scorn judgments cannot escape them, <a class="bibleref" title="Prov.19.28" href="/passage/?search=Prov.19.28">Prov. 19:28</a>. The unbelief of man shall not make God’s threatenings of no effect; those that <i>devour iniquity</i> swallow the hook with the bait. The civil magistrate has <i>judgments prepared for scorners</i>, for otherwise he would <i>bear the sword in vain</i>; but if he be remiss, and connive at sin, yet God’s judgments slumber not; they are prepared, <a class="bibleref" title="Matt.25.41" href="/passage/?search=Matt.25.41">Matt. 25:41</a>.</p>
