Spiritually considered, these verses describe a sin-sick soul: foolish
but yet aroused to a sense of guilt, it refuses comfort from any and every
quarter, and a lethargy of despair utterly paralyzes it. To its own
apprehension nothing remains but utter destruction in many forms: the gates of
death stand open before it, and it is, in its own apprehension, hurried in that
direction. Then is the soul driven to cry in the bitterness of its grief unto
the Lord, and Christ, the eternal Word, comes with healing power in the direst
extremity, saving to the uttermost.
