Vers. 8. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
They eat up the sin of my people] There is some difficulty in these words. To eat up sin, to eat up the sin of people, what is that? There is much in this to be learned.
THey eat up the sin of my people] There is some difficulty in these words. To eat up sin, to eat up the sin of people, what is that? There is much in this to be learned.
The word here translated Sin, 1in Scripture hath three acceptions.
