Psalms 119:118
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
119:118. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes. They are thrown down and then trodden down, for they choose to go down into the wandering ways of sin. Sooner of later God will set his foot on those who turn their foot from his commands: it has always been so, and it always will be so. If the salt has lost its savor, what is it fit for but to be trodden under foot?
For their deceit is falsehood. They call it far-seeing policy, but it is absolute falsehood, and it will be treated as such. Ordinary people call it clever diplomacy, but the man of God calls a spade a spade, and declares it to be falsehood, for he knows that it is so in the sight of God. People who err from the right road invent pretty excuses with which to deceive themselves and others, and so quiet their consciences and maintain their credits; but their mask of falsehood is too transparent. God treads down falsehoods. How horrified must those be who have spent all their lives in contriving a confectionery religion, and then see it all trodden upon by God as a sham which he cannot endure!
