Jeremiah 3:21-25 A voice was heard on the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way… Lady Glenorchy, in her diary, relates her being seized with a fever, which threatened her life, "during the course of which," she says, "the first question of the Assembly's Catechism was brought to my mind — 'What is the chief end of man?' — as if some one had asked it. When I considered the answer to it, — 'To glorify, God and to enjoy Him forever,' — I was struck with shame and confusion. I found I had never sought to glorify God in my life, nor had I any idea of what was meant by enjoying Him forever. Death and judgment were set before me; my past sins came to my remembrance; I saw no way to escape the punishment due unto them, nor had I the least glimmering hope of obtaining pardon through the righteousness of another." From this unhappy state she was shortly after delivered, by faith in the Lord Jesus. (W. Whitecross.) Parallel Verses KJV: A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. |
