Cant. 2. vers. 14. O my Dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, 1in the secret places of the stairs; let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice: for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. God delights to see and hear the complaints and the confessions of his servants unto him: so David speaks, 2I declared my ways, and thou heardest me with pity and complacency. God had rather see men come with ropes about their necks, and with sackcloth about their loins by a humble confession,3 as the servants of Benhadad did, then to see ornaments about their necks by a self-justification; Christ loves to hear and see the mourning condition of a justified person.
