Isaiah 8:21-22 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry… I. SIN LEADS TO SUFFERING. II. THERE IS IN SUFFERING NO SANCTIFYING POWER. It may harden men in iniquity. III. SUFFERING DOES NOTHING IN ITSELF TO ABATE GOD'S ANGER AGAINST SINNERS. Nothing will turn away that anger but a genuine repentance (Isaiah 9:13). (R. A. Bertram.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. |
