Gen_19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
Ver. 16. And while he lingered.] Or distracted himself with much business, {a} which David did not. {Psa_119:60}
The Lord being merciful unto him.] What is he then to us, in "delivering us from the wrath to come?" {1Th_1:10} Why save we not ourselves from this untoward generation? {Act_2:40} Why see we not his mercy to us in our losses and crosses; his hand laying hold on us, when he takes away that which may hinder us from heaven?
