Isaiah 50:10-11
Who is among you that fears the LORD, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light?…


its operations with the exercise of every other grace. It intermixes with faith, and renders it fruitful; it co-operates with love, and prevents it from becoming secure; it unites with hope, and keeps it from swelling into presumption; it mingles with joy, and so moderates it that we rejoice with trembling.

(R. Macculloch.)
