Verse 17
Isa 9:17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one [is] an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
Ver. 17. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men. ] Nay, he shall laugh at their destruction. Pro 1:26
Neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows. ] They are deceived therefore that, being unregenerate, hope to find favour with God merely for their adversity; and because they have their hell, as they call it, here, think to have heaven hereafter.
Because every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer. ] That facies hypocritica of our nation is facies hippocratica, saith one; a mortal complexion, a sad prognostic.
And every mouth speaketh folly. ] Or, Villany. Sapless, worthless, rotten, and stinking stuff. Eph 4:29
