58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thy abominations, saith the LORD.

Commentary

 

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

2922. 'In the choicest of our graves' means well-pleasing in regard to regeneration. This is clear from the meaning of 'choosing', 'a choice', and 'choicest' as that which is preferred or well-pleasing, and from the meaning of 'a grave' as resurrection and regeneration, dealt with above in 2916.
