v. 8. _Woe unto them that join house to house, &c._
God's curse is in the habitation of the wicked. 1. Sometimes the
curse enters into their hearts, and prevents them from enjoying
comfort in their estates, and perplexes them with fears and cares
about their possessions.[1] 2. At other times it wastes and consumes
them like a moth, or suddenly devours them by fire and sword. 3. In
some existences they are suddenly and unexpectedly snatched away from
their enjoyments by death.[2]--_Macculloch, Lectures on Isaiah,_
i. 275.
