Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!" — Isaiah 5:19 (ASV)
Blaspheming God, and rushing against the bosses of His shield, defying Him to strike them. And all this came from dallying with sin, from drawing iniquity with cords of vanity.
Beware of the eggs of the cockatrice. Remember how drops wear away stones, and little strokes fell great oaks. Do not play with a cobra, even if it is only a foot long. Keep from the edge of the precipice. Fly from the lion before he springs upon you.
Do not forge for yourself a net of iron, nor become the builder of your own prison-house. May the Holy Spirit deliver you. May you touch the Cross, and find in it the power which will loose you and let you go.
