Lamentations 3:27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth. Live the bullock, we have to bend, we have to stoop, that the yoke may be put upon us, and this stooping is what none of us like. Our proud wills must be humbled; our old self must be crucified. There are few men who enter into the light and liberty of happy believers without knowing something of this inward conflict. It is well to have it over in early life. I remember an old and godly man who was much tried in the latter years of his life with spiritual depression, saying to me, "Ah, sir, it is not good to have to bear the yoke in one's old age." (J. Thain Davidson.) Parallel Verses KJV: It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.WEB: It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. |
