As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
Psalm 73:20
"Verse 20. As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. .... but as a dream vanishes so soon as a man awakes, so the instant the Lord begins to exercise his justice and call men before him, the pomp and prosperity of proud transgressors shall melt away.
When God awakes to judgment, ..... poor unsubstantial sons of dreams; they will soon be gone; when the day breaketh, and the Lord awake as a mighty man out of his sleep, they will vanish away. Who cares for the wealth of dreamland? Who indeed but fools? Lord, leave us not to the madness which covets unsubstantial wealth, and ever teach us thine own true wisdom."
Charles Spurgeon
