The despotism of eastern princes often proceeds to such a degree of extravagance as to fill the mind with astonishment and horror. In Morocco, no person dares to bury the body of a malefactor without an order from the emperor; and Windus, speaking of a man who was to have been sawn in two, informs us, that "his body must have remained to be eaten by the dogs, if the emperor had not pardoned him." 141:7; Jer 8:1,2; 14:16; 15:3; 16:4; 25:33; 34:20; Re 11:9 become.44:13,14; 80:6; 89:41; De 28:37; Jer 24:9; 25:18; 42:18; La 2:15,16La 5:1; Eze 35:12; 36:3,15scorn.1Ki 9:7; Ne 2:19; 4:1-4 How long.13:1,2; 74:1,9,10; 80:4; 89:46; Re 6:10wilt.85:5; 103:9; Isa 64:9; Mic 7:18jealousy.De 29:20; 32:16,22; Eze 36:5; Zep 1:18; 3:8 Pour.69:24; Isa 42:25; Re 16:1-21upon.Isa 13:1-22; 21:1-17; 23:1-18; Jer 10:25; 25:29; 46:1-51:64not known.9:16,17; Isa 45:4,5; Joh 16:3; 17:25; Ac 17:23; Ro 1:28; 2Th 1:8not called.14:4; 53:4; 145:18; Ro 10:12-14; 1Co 1:2 For they.80:13; Isa 9:12; Jer 50:7; 51:34,35; Zec 1:15laid.2Ch 36:21; Isa 24:1-12; 64:10,11 remember.25:7; 130:3; Ex 32:34; 1Ki 17:18; Isa 64:9; Ho 8:13; 9:9; Re 18:5former iniquities. or, the iniquities of them that werebefore us.
