| Baruch 2:17 | *Open thy eyes, and behold: **for the dead that are in hell, whose spirit is taken away from their bowels, shall not give glory and justice to the Lord: Isaias 37:17.; Isaias 64:9. Psalm 113:17(25). | Justice, etc. They that are in hell shall not give justice to God: that is, they shall not acknowledge and glorify his justice, as penitent sinners do upon earth. (Challoner) --- And all in the grave are incapable of making known God's perfections. An appeal to his glory is thus often made, Isaias 38:18., Psalm 113:17., and Ecclesiasticus 7:24. |
