Genesis 34:1-5 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.… 1. Sad occurrences may be ordered to saints while they sit by God's altar. Worship is not without trial. 2. Religious care of God misplaced doth not exempt parents and children from sad temptations. Jacob worshipped by Shalem, not at Bethel. 3. Mothers' sins Providence may hit in daughters' miscarriages. 4. The children of saints, and specially daughters, may be occasion of great affliction to parents. 5. Wilfulness and wantonness urge on young souls to their own mischief, and grief of parents. 6. Unruly appetites to know the fashions and vain courses of others bring many souls into grievous snares. 7. Vain sights and spectacles in revels and wanton garbs may occasion loss of purity (ver. 1).
