Here, as in other parts of the word of God, we find judgment following conviction. The Lord seems to expostulate, as it were, in the same language as by another Prophet: And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Isaiah 5:3-4. Reader! it is a very solemn thing when men trifle with the Lord. Sin is sin, wherever it be found. But sill in the Church of God becomes more exceedingly sinful. The weed in the garden is more offensive than in the hedge. And when the Lord sets his face against a people, against an individual, how tremendously awful are the judgments which follow. Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. Hosea 4:17. If the Lord ceaseth to correct, destruction is not far off.
