CCEL Footnote 2888 (In-Text, Margin)

... to encourage our confidence. For it is to be feared that we shall have to hear these words concerning those who have been entrusted to us: I will require their souls at your hands; and, Because ye have rejected me, and not been leaders and rulers of my people, I also will reject you, that I should not be king over you; and, As ye refused to hearken to My voice, and turned a stubborn back, and were disobedient, so shall it be when ye call upon Me, and I will not regard nor give ear to your prayer.[Zechariah 7:11] God forbid that these words should come to us from the just Judge, for when we sing of His mercy we must also by all means sing of His judgment.
