This is the Look which the word in the Text calls for. Look unto the Heavens, and see; it cannot be understood of the outward sight only, for he that looks upon the Heavens cannot but see them; but a man may look a great while upon the Heavens, and not see them considerately, nor understand what he seeth. The words import attention and consideration:1 And so they are used and placed (2 Kings 3.14.) Were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the King of Judah, I would not look unto thee, nor see thee; said Elisha to Jehoram King of Israel; that is, I would give thee no respect, nor take notice of thee.2 In this sense the Prophet represents the Church bespeaking the incompassionate Spectators of her calamity, (Lam. 1.12.) Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Behold and see (that is, weigh it well, and consider) if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow. Look unto the Heavens and see.
