Shall he turn away] Some interpret this of God: The Lord is not so turned back, but he is ready to return; Oh! why should•• thou backslide with a perpetual back-sliding?
And then the last Note is:
They refuse to return] The word that is translated, they 1refused, may signify they scorned. What, talk to him of returning, tell him of his sin against God, the greatness of his sin, and the greatness of the danger, and the threatenings of God against his sin, he despises all these things, these are poor things to scare children withal; Tell him of the mercies of God in pardoning his sin, he slights all; this humiliation now for sin, this breaking off of sinful courses, they deride the motions of them, they scorn to return.
