This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ezr_10:12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
Ver. 12. Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice] But not with a true heart, Heb_10:22. For within a few years they returned to their vomit again.
As thou hast said, so must we do] These were good words, and not unlike those of Laelius, in Lucan, spoken to Caesar:
Iussa sequi tam velle mihi, quam posse, necesse est.
But many of these fair promisers turned back, and dealt unfaithfully, like their fathers; they were turned aside like a deceitful bow, Psa_78:57. Look how a rotten bow, though otherwise fair, when an arrow is drawn to the head, and both eye and arrow is levelled to the mark, yet it miscarrieth; so do the desires, purposes, and promises that unsound hearts conceive in their afflictions, and under just convictions.
