VER. 6. They shall go with their flocks and their herds to seek the Lord.
Shall they fall? No they have a way to prevent it, they will pacify God with the multitude of their sacrifices, their flocks and their herds,1 they are content to spend those all in sacrifices unto God, and shall this people fall? They will make God amends with these, they will make up their sins with these, with the multitude of their sacrifices. There is much to be observed from every word here; the difficulty for interpretation is not much, and the Observations I shall pass briefly.
