Peace. It is proper for sinners to do so, Ecclesiasticus 15:9. The prophet was grieved that he was unworthy to join in the acclamation of the Seraphim, and had reason to fear death, Genesis 16:13., and Exodus 33:20. He finds himself less able to speak than before, like Moses, Exodus 4:10., and 6:12.
