If, when
God sends judgments upon others, we do not take warning and example by
them; if instead of reflecting upon ourselves and questioning our ways we fall
to censuring others; if we will pervert the meaning of God's providences and
will not understand the design and intention of them; then we leave God no other
way to awaken us to a consideration of our evil ways but by pouring down his
wrath upon our heads, so that he may convince us that we are sinners by the same
argument from whence we have concluded others to be so. - John Tillotson
When the voice of God cries to us we may by it see his name, may discern and
perceive that by which he makes himself known. Yet many see it not, are not
aware of it, because they do not regard it. God speaks once, yea, twice, and
they perceive it not (Job 33:14); but those that are men of wisdom will see it,
and perceive it, and make a good use of it. - Matthew Henry
