Studie

       

21 Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.

Hewers of wood

  
Woodcutter, by Kazimir Malevich [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons

Hewers of wood in the Jewish church, as mentioned in Joshua 9:23, 27, represent people who place righteousness and merit in good works, and have thus attributed to themselves the effective power of salvation.

In Jeremiah 46:22, hewers of wood signify people who extirpate good.
