Isaiah 3:12-15

Reader! do not fail to observe, both indeed in this place, and through the word of God at large, that amidst all the backslidings of Israel, the Lord still keeps up the remembrance of their relationship. The name is not lost; As for MY people, saith the Lord. And how doth the Lord expostulate with their enemies that cause them to stray: what mean ye, that ye beat my people? Precious Lord Jesus! and dost thou not plead with all our enemies in this way? And wilt thou not punish and confound them for the deliverance of thy people? That is a sweet scripture to this amount. Proverbs 22:23.
