Psalm 50:8-13 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.… Go out into the woods, where the white oak is, and where the beech is. Their leaves died last November, but they all hang on the trees yet. The trees have not strength to slough them. They always make me think of a great many people. Sap does not run in them any more, but their duties hang on them like dead leaves all over. They would not like to drop their duties: they are not quite in that state yet; but those duties are dry, sapless and enforced. (E. P. Thwing.) Parallel Verses KJV: I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.WEB: I don't rebuke you for your sacrifices.
