Psalms 73:18. Surety thou didst set them in slippery places:
As if they stood upon a ridge of ice, from which they must slip down; -who wishes to be lifted up upon an Alp of prosperity, from which he may be dashed down at any moment? If you knew that there was a man standing on the top of the cross of St. Paul’s at this moment, I do not suppose that any of you would envy him; certainly I should not. Let him have a patent for standing there, and let nobody else ever attempt it. And an ungodly man, in the elevated places of prosperity, is in such a perilous position that we need not envy him.
Psalms 73:18. Thou castedst them down into destruction.
Down they go! If not in this life, yet in the next, and who will envy them then?
