Isaiah 21:11-12 The burden of Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?… It is really a terrible answer, for there can be nothing so terrible for us on earth as to know that God has nothing to say to us. "O, my God!" cried Martin Luther, "smite me with famine, with want, with pestilence, with all the sore diseases on earth, rather than Thou be silent to me." Yet God is sometimes thus silent to wicked men and to wicked nations; He is so for their punishment. "Ephraim is turned unto idols. Let him alone." (Dean Patter, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? |
