20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.



Ver. 20. And therefore I cannot come] Note that the voluptuary is peremptory, and saith flatly he "cannot come." Sensual hearts are void of the Spirit, Jdg_1:18-19. Miry places could not be healed by the sanctuary waters, Eze_47:11; fleshly lusts fight against the soul, 1Pe_2:11. Those that dance to the timbrel and harp, say, "Depart from us," Job_21:11. Better be preserved in brine than rot in honey.
