Verse 25
25. They grope, etc. They feel the darkness and not light. Gesenius. The reading of the Septuagint is nearly the same. Their blindness must be intense, when the sense of feeling is their sight.
He maketh God is said to do what he permits to be done. Men who resist grace he leaves a prey to the laws of nature laws outside of the kingdom of grace. Their work God is said to perform, because it is through laws of his enactment. If he withdraw the enlightening and restraining influences of his grace, the twofold result darkness and confusion must follow. Thus deserted, nations like Egypt, (Isaiah 19:14,) and individuals like Saul, alike stagger to their doom. The withdrawal of himself is the great positive evil God inflicts upon an impure soul in the eternal world.
