Volume 6 Sermon 9 Hosea 4:7
Woebe to them whose sins go unpunished. God spares in wrath, and corrects in mercy. When a physician ceases to administer his bitter potions, or a surgeon to search the wound, it is a sign they look upon the case as desperate. As God does not spare his people here; in order that he may spare them hereafter; so he often forbears to punish the wicked in this world, and suffers them to enjoy uninterrupted prosperity, that he may punish them more severely in the next. Amos iii.2; Luke xvi. 22-25; Heb xii.6
