2 Kings 17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from there. Now, most people think, if they keep all the best rooms in their hearts swept and garnished for Christ, that they may keep a little chamber in their heart's wall for Belial on his occasional visits; or a three-legged stool for him in the heart's counting-house; or a corner for him in the heart's scullery, where he may lick the dishes. It won't do! You must cleanse the house of him, as you would of the plague, to the last spot. You must be resolved that as all you have shall be God's, so all you are shall be God's. (John Ruskin.) Parallel Verses KJV: They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. |
