The Hindoos, Budhists, and others often wear a gold or silverchain about their waist. One of those chains, once the ornament of a Moudeliar in the island of Ceylon, lies now before me: it is silver, and curiously wrought.
Verses 6-20 - The LordJesus may speak here as a Judge, denouncing sentence on some of his enemies, to warn others. When men reject the salvation of Christ, even their prayers are numbered among their sins. See what hurries some to shameful deaths, and brings the families and estates of others to ruin; makes them and theirs despicable and hateful, an brings poverty, shame, and misery upon their posterity: it is sin, tha mischievous, destructive thing. And what will be the effect of the sentence, "God, ye cursed," upon the bodies and souls of the wicked! Ho it will affect the senses of the body, and the powers of the soul, with pain, anguish, horror, and despair! Think on these things, sinners tremble and repent.
