8. Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee. Are the people so insensible as to be deaf to their God? So it would
seem, for he earnestly asks a hearing. Are we not also at times quite as
careless and immovable? O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me. There is
much in this if. How low have they fallen who will not hearken unto God
himself! We are not fond of being upbraided; we would rather avoid sharp and
cutting truths; and, though the Lord himself rebuke us, we fly from his gentle reproofs.
