Isaiah 34:16 Seek you out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it has commanded… : — 1. Because the way of salvation is to be found only therein (John 5:39). 2. It is the only rule of our faith and lives (Isaiah 8:20). The lawyer studies his law books, the physician his medical books; and shall not a Christian study the Book of the Lord? 3. The Lord Himself dictated it and gave it us for that very end (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Romans 15:4). 4. We must be judged by the Scriptures at the great day (John 12:48). ( T. Watson, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. |
