37. For their heart was not right with him. There
was no depth in their repentance. Every wind turned them; their mind was not
settled upon God. Neither were they steadfast in his covenant. Their
promises were no sooner made than broken. Good resolutions called at their
hearts as men do at inns; they tarried a while, and then took their leave. They
were hot today for holiness, but cold towards it tomorrow. They changed from
reverence to rebellion, from thankfulness to grumbling. One day they gave their
gold to build a tabernacle for Jehovah, and the next they plucked off their
earrings to make a golden calf.
