2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth… I. THE DESCRIPTION OF GOD'S PROVIDENCE. 1. Its immediateness: "His eyes." Not like princes, who see by their servants' eyes, more than by their own, what is done in their kingdoms; His care is immediate. 2. Its quickness and speed: "run." 3. Its extent: "the whole earth." 4. Its diligence: "to and fro." His care is repeated. 5. Its efficacy. His care doth engage His strength. II. THE END OF PROVIDENCE. (S. Charnock, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. |
