Isaiah 9:13 For the people turns not to him that smites them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. A very holy man, who was working on behalf of the sufferers in the recent plague at Bombay, wrote home to ask certain of his friends not to pray that God would remove the plague, but to pray that whatever was His purpose and intention in sending it might be done. It was a true and lofty view. (C. H. Sharpe.) Parallel Verses KJV: For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.WEB: Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies. |
