15 Da blev Jesurun* fet og slo bak ut - du blev fet og tykk og stinn; han forlot Gud, som hadde skapt ham, og foraktet sin frelses klippe. / {* d.e. det opriktige, rettskafne folk; så kalles Israel fordi det skulde tjene Herren i opriktighet.}


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 15. But evils derived from the hereditary tendency began to assert themselves in the natural unregenerated part of the mind and to reject the Divine influence: the soul then becomes filled with the lust of evil, and there is a dense resistance to the inflowing of good from heaven, and the internal has become covered up by external things; then the soul forsook the Divine truth that regenerated him, and lightly esteemed faith in the sacred doctrines of truth from the Word and the Lord's Humanity whereby alone is salvation.
