Hear the words — You needed not have thus enquired, had you heeded the written word. Prophets — Who have called for repentance, and sincere love to God, and man, and shewed how light, formal services are. Prosperity — Did such observances preserve Jerusalem in its prosperity? Were they sufficient to save the men that inhabited the south of the plain? Did they do no good when things were all safe and well? And do you imagine they can profit you, now all is in ruins?
