Isaiah 33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. "Thy sins be forgiven thee." It is a beautiful figure. It is as if a boat was moored to a filthy mainland and could not get away. There comes a man who cuts the cable, and the boat floats away down stream. That is the figure given. The Lord comes and cuts the cable that binds me to the filthy mainland of the past, and my boat goes free. (J. H. Jowett, M. A.). Parallel Verses KJV: And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.WEB: The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity. |
