ISA. LV, 1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 3. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. MATT. XXIII, 37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 3. GOD EXPOSTULATES WITH SINNERS. DEUT. V, 29. O that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever! DEUT. XXXII, 29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! EZEK. XVIII, 32. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. PSA. XVIII, 13. The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. 14. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 15. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. ISA. XLVIII, 18. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments; then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. LUKE XIX, 41. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42. Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. JOHN V, 40. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. ACTS VII, 51. Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. MATT. XXII, 2. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son; 3. And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding; and they would not come. 4. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage. 5. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6. And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. LUKE XIV, 17. And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
