Bible Comments

Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! We looked for peace - We expected prosperity when Josiah purged the land of idolatry.

And there is no good - For we have relapsed into our former ways.
