Deuteronomy 32:34

Deuteronomy 32:34 [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up among my treasures?

Ver. 34. Is not this laid up in store? ] To wit, for just punishment, though for a while I forbear them. The wicked man is like a thief, which having stolen a horse, rides away well mounted, till, overtaken by hue and cry, he is apprehended, sentenced, and executed. "Your sin will find you out" as a bloodhound; Et patientia Dei erga impios quo diuturnior, eo minacior. Morae dispendium faenoris duplo pensatur; the longer God forbears, the heavier he punishes. a
