  • “Her enemies have become as chief; her haters are at ease; for Jehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her sins. Her children have gone, captive before the enemy.” (Lamentations 1.5).

Jeremiah was muttering for the sake of the prosperity of the enemies. However, for who is in sin:

  • to be at ease it is just opportunity to muck about or mull over bad thoughts;
  • the liberty is jeopardous, inasmuch as, who isn’t committed with the people that Jesus put in their life ends up giving themselves to lust and workin all uncleanness with greediness (Ephesians 4.17-19). It’s not vain that he who separates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound wisdom (Proverbs 18.1);
  • to be head only means oppression, extortion, serfdom, make people into stooge. The denouement is nuisance, acrimony, feud, people thoroughly berserk, feisty, boasting a boisterous deportment.

Even if the person is in Christ, if the person isn’t witty:

  • to be at easy only will do him full himself of hubris and deceive, to the point of saying: who is Jehovah? (Proverbs 30.9);
  • the liberty only will do him to use it for an opening to the flesh (Galatians 5.13);
  • to be head only will make both of them (he and people that he are leading) to fall into the ditch.

This explains what is written below:

  • “For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy to a man who is good in His sight. *But to the sinner He gives labor*, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.” (Ecclesiastes 2.26).

After all, to he who hasn’t Jesus, the best thing is give him labor, because that way he won’t have time to think and do foolishness.

So, do not fret yourself with evil doers; and do not be envious against the workers of iniquity. Trust in Jehovah, and do good; you shall dwell in the land, and you shall be fed on truth. (Psalms 37.1,3). Get right with Jesus and He will make even your enemies to be at peace with you (Proverbs 16.4) and vouchsafe to you what you need (even if they don’t desire to cooperate – see Ezra 6.6-12).

Have a shine day in Christ Jesus.
