    A statement of truth, the evidence is clearly seen each day; we don't have the wisdom, love, intelligence or life-span needed, will never be able to ''go alone'' we need Jehovah God's direction and will have it soon, in the meantime look to Jehovah's word the Holy Bible, have a Bible study and join us as Jehovah's dedicated Witnesses, it's the best way of living.

    Good morning ((Bilbo)) nice to see you again my friend.

    Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

    10:17-25 The Jews who continued in their own land, felt secure. But, sooner or later, sinners will find all things as the word of God has declared, and that its threatenings are not empty terrors. Submission will support the believer under every grief allotted to him; but what can render the load of Divine vengeance easy to be borne by those who fall under it in sullen despair? Those cannot expect to prosper, who do not, by faith and prayer, take God with them in all their ways. The report of the enemy's approach was very dreadful. Yet the designs which men lay deep, and think well formed, are dashed to pieces in a moment. Events are often overruled, so as to be quite contrary to what we intended and expected. If the Lord has directed our steps into the ways of peace and righteousness, let us entreat him to enable us to walk therein. Say not, Lord, do not correct me; but, Lord, do not correct me in anger. We may bear the smart of God's rod, but we cannot bear the weight of his wrath. Those who restrain prayer, prove that they know not God; for those who know him will seek him, and seek his favour. If even severe corrections lead sinners to be convinced of wholesome truths, they will have abundant cause for gratitude. And they will then humble themselves before the Lord.

    Jeremiah was pretty accurate in his prophecies because as we see in the book of Lamentations God brought judgment on Israel. Sad times for God's people.
