Thematic Bible: The hope of the hypocrite
Thematic Bible
Hope » The hope of the hypocrite
What hope hath the hypocrite, though he have great good, and though God give him riches after his heart's desire? Doth God hear him the sooner, when he crieth unto him in his necessity? Hath he such pleasure and delight in the Almighty, that he dare always call upon God?
May a rush be green without moisture, or may the grass grow without water? No: but before it be shot forth, and before it be gathered, it withereth; before any other herb. Even so goeth it with all them that forget God: and even thus also shall the hypocrite's hope come to naught.
