Amos 2:13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. Consider, then, for a moment, how bad human nature must be, if we think how ill it has treated its God. I remember William Huntington says, in his Autobiography, that one of the sharpest sensations of pain that he felt after he had been quickened by Divine grace was this: " He felt such pity for God." I do not know that I ever met with the expression elsewhere, but it is a very expressive one, although I might prefer to say sympathy with God and grief that He should be so evil entreated. Ah, there are many men that are forgotten, that are despised, and that are trampled on by their fellows; but there never was a man who was so despised as the everlasting God has been. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.WEB: Behold, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain. |
