1The Prophet not only confirms that which he hath promised in the name of God, but also exhorts the Jews to repentance, and shows them from whence they were to look for salvation, and with what a terrible Judge they had to deal. For he reasons from the nature of God; and thence shows after what manner they were to frame their lives, that so they might not reject this grace of God now offered them by their own rebellion.

Under the word judgement, he comprehends all justice and equal dealing. For he opposeth this word to those idle inventions whereby the Jews thought to satisfy God withal, which yet were but cloaks for their wickedness. But as we have often seen heretofore, the Lord cares for none of these masks and vain pretences, but only requires the true purity of the heart and hands, purged from all iniquities. He then that will be approved of God, with all that he performs in his service, must needs have a pure heart, and lead a blameless life.
