In the fifth Psalm: "But in the grave who will confess unto Thee?" [4623] Also in the twenty-ninth Psalm: "Shall the dust make confession to Thee?" [4624] Also elsewhere that confession is to be made: "I would rather have the repentance of the sinner than his death." [4625] Also in Jeremiah: "Thus saith the Lord, Shall not he that falleth arise? or shall not he that is turned away be converted?" [4626]
