Jeremiah 50:4-5 In those days, and in that time, said the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together… I was coming to Larne from Carrickfergus in a gig. Taking for granted that I knew the road well enough, I drove right on, passing many people going to market. After a while I began to doubt whether I was right, and meeting a gentleman on horseback, I said to him, "How far is it to Larne?" "This is not the way," said he. "You are two miles past where you should have turned to the left up the hill Come back with me and I will show you the right way." Then striking his forehead with his hand he said, "You could fool, why didn't you inquire in time?" So you go on from day to day, thinking you are going right to heaven; but you are in the wrong way. The great God has told you the right way in His blessed Bible. The priest says you mustn't read it; but if you don t inquire, you'll find you're wrong as I did. (W. Arthur's Life of Gideon Ouseley.) Parallel Verses KJV: In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. |
