This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

“Now” or oh! it is a word of entreaty, for the Lord is loth even to let the most ungodly run on to destruction. “Consider this;” take these truths to heart, ye who trust in ceremonies and ye who live in vice, for both of you sin in that “ye forget God.” Bethink you how unaccepted you are, and turn unto the Lord. See how you have mocked the eternal, and repent of your iniquities. “Lest I tear you in pieces,” as a lion rends his prey, “and there be none to deliver,” no Saviour, no refuge, no hope. Ye reject the Mediator: beware, for ye will sorely need one in the day of wrath, and none will be near to plead for you. How terrible, how complete, how painful, how humiliating, will be the destruction of the wicked! God uses no soft words, or velvet metaphors, nor may his servants do so when they speak of the wrath to come. O reader, consider this.
