Sunday School Chronicle Isaiah 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD… A father bade his son set up some bricks endways, in regular line a short distance apart. "Now," said he, "knock down the first brick." The boy obeyed, and all the others fell with it. "Now," said the father, "raise the last brick and see if the others will rise with it." But no, once down, they must be raised singly. Said the father, "I have given you this object lesson to teach you how easy it is for one to lead others astray, but how difficult for him to restore them, however sincere his repentance may be." (Sunday School Chronicle.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. |
