The Patience of God: The Wicked: Punished for Despising

You were patient with them for many years, and Your Spirit admonished them through Your prophets. Yet they would not listen, so You gave them into the hands of the neighboring peoples.

But suppose that servant is wicked and says in his heart, ‘My master will be away a long time.’ …

But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
