Isaiah 28:23-29 Give you ear, and hear my voice; listen, and hear my speech.… When the plough of God's providence first cuts up a man's life, what wonder if the man should exclaim a little, yea, if he should give way to one hour's grief, and say he thought he had escaped all that kind of treatment! But the man may come to himself ere eventide and say, Plough on, Lord; I want my life to be ploughed all over that it may be sown all over, and that in every corner there may be golden grain or beautiful flowers: pity me that I exclaimed when I first felt the ploughshare, Thou knowest my frame, Thou rememberest that I am but dust, but now I recollect, I put things together, I see Thy meaning; so drive on, Thou Ploughman of eternity! (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.WEB: Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech! |
