7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.



Ver. 7. Fear God] Let one fear drive out another (as one fire doth another); the fear of God, the fear of your fellow-creatures, who draw you to idolatry. For this it is that the second commandment is the first with punishment.



Give glory to him] By confessing your sins and amending your ways. See Jos_7:19; Jer_13:16.



For the hour of his judgment is come] The judgment that he will exercise upon idolaters and their mawmets, as once in Egypt. See Joh_12:31; Act_17:30-31 Act_14:15.



And the fountains of waters] Quantum miraculi sit in admiranda illa fluminum perennitate, nemo, credo, philosophorum satis explicare haetenus potuit, saith Bucholcer.
