What shall I do? As if God should say, Oh! were there but any repentings, were they but ever so little, I would be glad of it, I would take any little repentings, could I but tell how to vindicate mine honour any other way, I would do it; Oh! what shall I do? It is your foolish, wilful stubbornness, going on in such a vile, sinful way that puts God to such a stand; What shall I do? God seems here to have his heart troubled in him, much like that in Exod. 33. 5. when God was offended with the people 1there, saith he, Put off thine ornaments, that I may know what to do with thee. It's a strange expression: as if he should say, come and fast, and pray, put off your ornaments, and humble your selves before me, that I may know what to do to you: Oh! why may there not be some hope? put off your ornaments, if there be but any repentings and turning to me.
