Here is a description of the worst of sinners, whose hearts are fully
set in them to do evil. 1. They set that at defiance which would deter
and detain them from sin: An ungodly witness is one that bears false
witness against his neighbour, and will forswear himself to do another
a mischief, in which there is not only great injustice, but great
impiety; this is one of the worst of men. Or an ungodly witness is one
that profanely and atheistically witnesses against religion and
godliness, whose instructions seduce from the words of knowledge (v.
27); such a one scorns judgment, laughs at the terrors of the Lord,
mocks at that fear, Job xv. 26. Tell him of law and equity, that the
scriptures and an oath are sacred things, and not to be jested with,
that there will come a reckoning day; he laughs at it all, and scorns
to heed it. 2. They are greedy, and glad of that which gives them an
opportunity to sin: The mouth of the wicked eagerly devours iniquity,
drinks it in like water, Job xv. 16.
