Isaiah 32:20 Blessed are you that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the donkey. "Beside all waters." Some waters are clear and sparkling, and the murmur of their ripple gladdens the ear, sow there, of course. But there are turbid, angry waters, fouled and polluted, sow beside them also. Into the bright, sunny, prattling lives of the little ones cast the precious seed, but also, all the more lovingly and skifully, when the swollen torrents of sin rush past. God is able to make it grow and take root there; and also beside the stagnant pools of stolid atheism. "Thou canst not tell whether shall prosper, either this or that." (G. Soltau.) Parallel Verses KJV: Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.WEB: Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey. |
