Isaiah a Physician as Well as a Seer
Isaiah 1:5-6
Why should you be stricken any more? you will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.…


He says, you are vitally wrong, organically out of health: the whole head is sick, the whole heart is faint: the chief members of your constitution are wrong. It is a question of the head and the heart. Not, the foot has gone astray, and the hand has been playing an evil game, or some inferior member of the body has given hint of restlessness and treason; but, the head, where the mind abides, is sick; the heart, continually keeping the life current in action, is faint and cannot do its work. Until you see the seriousness of the case you cannot apply the right remedies.

(J. Parker, D. D.)
