Exodus 6:9

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Exodus 6:9

DISCOURSE: 69THE DESPONDENCY OF ISRAELExodus 6:9. And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.“AS face answers to face in a glass, so does the heart of man to man.” We are apt, indeed, to imagine that the Jews were a people of more than ordinary depravity: but it is found that mankind almost universally act precisely as they did, under similar circumstances. We have here a remarkable instance of despondency. The... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Exodus 6:9

To the Saddest of the Sad June 3rd, 1888 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage." Exodus 6:9 .

We were much better off before you ever came. Now since you've come, things are really hard... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 6:1-30

Exodus 6:1. With a strong hand. In a general view we do not find that heaven has recourse to miracles, except when religion is low and greatly depressed, somewhat as a fire which is burnt down has need of the blast to raise the heat. In this view, God graciously favoured the holy prophets, before Jerusalem was destroyed, and when idolatry raised her daring front to heaven. So also when the new covenant superseded the shadows of the old, our Saviour commanded divine obedience by the divinity... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Exodus 6:9

Exo 6:9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. Ver. 9. But they hearkened not. ] The ear, which tastes words as the mouth doth meat, was so filled with choler, that they could relish no comfort. It is ill sowing in a storm, giving physic in a fever fit. The easiest medicines or waters are troublesome to sore eyes: so here. Quicquid recipitur, recipitur ad modum recipientis. read more
