Isaiah 33:23 Your tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail… When I began to preach I thought all God's best things were on the tall shelf, and when I got very good I should be able to reach them down. Now I find all the best gifts are on the low shelf, that the babes can get at. And it is only when we become as little babes, only when we become simple, natural, and our stiff backs get bent, that we get low enough to take God's benefits. (F. B. Meyer, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. |
