THE LIX. CHAPTER.
Vers. 1. Behold, the Lords hand is not shortened, that it cannot save: neither is his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. 2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Vers. 1. Behold, the Lords hand is not shortened, that it cannot saue: neither is his eare heauie, that it cannot heare. 2. But your iniquities haue separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes haue hid his face from you, that he will not heare.
1This Sermon is in a manner like to the former. For after he hath unmasked the hypocrites, who falsely vaunted them selves, and showed that their punishment is just; now he answers to the rest of their objections. The custom of such kind of persons is to accuse God either of impotency, or of over great severity: and therefore he shows, that neither power nor vvill is wanting in God, to save those that be his: but that it is their own perversity that hinders him from causing them to feel his liberality: and consequently, that they did wickedly to complain of him, in uttering such slanders against him, seeing that themselves rather deserved to be accused.
