The Bible

Hosea 4:1

¹ Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Commentary

Gird

To gird one's self, as in John. 21:18, signifies to know and perceive truths in the light from good.
