But now (blessed be God) it was otherwise: The children of Israel shall come, they, and the children of Judah, together; To what end? They shall seek the Lord, i. e. They shall seek God, for himself, and not only for themselves; going and weeping; why? Not so much, that he hath offended them, as that they have offended him; for their sins more then for their punishments; so it is more distinctly reported. 1A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping, and supplications of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, and have forsaken the Lord their God. They had forgotten God before, not only in their sins, but in their duties; They cried not to me; they fasted not to me; not at all unto me, &c. But now they remember the Lord their God; they seek his face; they labour to atone him; yea, they seek him to be their Lord, as well as their Saviour; to govern them, as well as to deliver them; they ask the way to Zion; they require, as ⟨p. 76⟩well (and more) how they should serve him, as that he should fa•e them.
