Vers. 7. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, neither that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy self from us, and hast consumed us because of our sins.
Vers. 7. And there is none that calleth vpon thy name, neither that stirreth vp himselfe to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy selfe from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our sinnes.
The Prophet confirms that which was said before.1 For he admonisheth the faithful to acknowledge that they are worthy of such a revenging hand of God, how sharp and severe soever it seemed. Now he mentions some capital sins. And because it had bin too long to have stood deciphering them out one by one, he strikes at the root it self, and saith, that Gods service was contemned.
