12 Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 12. Besides which, he is disposed to doubt the power of the Lord in his regeneration, as to truth and as to good, and thus to deny His Divine Providence in the church by influx from within and by instruction from without through the Word, so that he who is in the innocence which belongs to the beginning of regeneration may proceed into the state of celestial life which has been promised to him by irrevocable confirmation.
