_ _ Turn ye unto me ... and I will turn — that is, and then, as the sure consequence, “I will turn unto you” (Malachi 3:7; James 4:8; compare also Jeremiah 3:12; Ezekiel 18:30; Micah 7:19). Though God hath brought you back from captivity, yet this state will not last long unless ye are really converted. God has heavier scourges ready, and has begun to give symptoms of displeasure [Calvin]. (Haggai 1:6). |
