Solomon himself was a lover of women and was rejected by God: and this lust was so great a snare to him that he was induced by women even to sacrifice to idols, as Scripture witnesses concerning him. But if, by his fall, what was delivered through him were blotted out, it would be judged that he had himself delivered these precepts and not that they were delivered through him. The mercy of God, therefore, and his Spirit, excellently wrought that whatever of good was declared through Solomon, might be attributed to God; and the man's sin, to the man. What marvel that Solomon fell among God's people? Did not Adam fall in paradise? Did not an angel fall from heaven and become the devil? We are thereby taught that no hope must be placed in any human being.<br/><i>— EXPOSITIONS OF THE Psalms 127.1</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"378b9cece9bf4ed6d9ddaa1ac6109f7a12149904a4a6fd9b990f2d1e99cd1842","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":587,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"722aec400e190246e1356dfeccb63495220b8b15f87036549e004073e33950c8","translator":null,"work":null}
