God Brings The Counsel of the Heathen To Nothing

The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught. While his own will is done, he takes care to anticipate the willfulness of his enemies. Before they come to action he vanquishes them in the council chamber; and when, well armed with craft, they march to the assault, he frustrates their knaveries, and makes their promising plots to end in nothing. Not only the folly of the heathen, but their wisdom too, shall yield to the power of the cross of Jesus: what a comfort is this to those who have to labor where sophistry, and philosophy, falsely so called, are set in opposition to the truth as it is in Jesus.
