[2 Chronicles 21:20](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/21/20)
*And departed without being desired.*
**The undesirableness of a wicked man’s life**
**
I.**Such life is not desirable on its own account. Two facts will show this.
**1.**His highest enjoyments are unsatisfactory and brief. It is impossible for us to be satisfied in any condition where we have not a consciousness of right, a sense of Divine favour, a hope of a bright future, and the pulsation of holy loves. Observe--
**(1)** How foolish to aim at such a life as this.
**(2)** How foolish to envy such a life as this.
**2.**That the longer it continues the greater becomes his responsibility.
**
II.**Such a life is not desirable on account of others.
**1.**It renders no real good to others.
**2.**It produces incalculable mischief. In the spiritual, as in the material, like begets like. “One sinner destroyeth much good.” (*Homilist*.)
