Malice of the Wicked
Lamentations 3:51
My eye affects my heart because of all the daughters of my city.


1. The wicked are often so enflamed with malice against the godly, that nothing will satisfy them but their blood.

2. The wicked do not content themselves with ordinary means to seek the life of the godly, but also practise often more than naturally seemeth needful (Matthew 27:66).

(1)  They bear a deadly hate to the truth, and possessors thereof.

(2)  The sting of their evil conscience maketh them always fear they shall not prevail (Daniel 6:16, 17).

(J. Udall.)
