This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Surely, since that, or, forasmuch as, the Lord God will do nothing; usually the Lord doth no great tiring for or against his people, neither brings great judgments upon them for sin, nor bestows great good upon them for their encouragement to duty,
but he revealeth, but he foretelleth the one and the other by his prophets to his people, that they may by repentance prevent the evil threatened, and by constancy in obedience attain the good promised.
His secret; his purpose and determinate counsel, which would never be known aforehand if he did not reveal it.
Unto his servants; who fear the Lord, and do his will in the midst of worst of times; they are holy men of God to whom the Lord revealeth his will.
The prophets; by office called of God to this, and by gifts fitted for this, and by extraordinary assistance carried through this work.
