There cannot be a greater evidence of God’s hatred and wrath—than His refusing to correct men for their sinful courses and vanities!
没有比神拒绝纠正人的罪恶行径和虚妄更能证明祂的憎恨和愤怒！
Where God refuses to correct—there God resolves to destroy!
在神拒绝纠正之处，神就决意要毁灭！
There is no man so near God’s ax—so near the flames—so near Hell—as he whom God will not so much as spend a rod upon!
没有人比神甚至不愿用杖管教的人更接近神的斧头、更接近火焰、更接近地狱！

谁能认真思考这点，却不在神最严厉的杖下保持沉默？
