Studies of the Old Testament (Classic Reprint)
by Austin Phelps
Excerpt from Studies of the Old Testament
Moreover, it was his mission to tell the people of their sins, to rebuke the nobles for their oppres sion, the humbler orders for their vileness, the priesthood for their falseness, even his fellow prophets for their infidelity to the living God. The whole nation, from prince to beggar, had reached the very bottom of national depravity; and this lone man was set to tell them of it, and to forewarn them of the frightful doom which was impending. He was the prophet of unwelcome truth. He had to face the facts of an age of retribution; He had to tear away the illusions with which people were deceiving themselves. They were bragging of the recovery of the Bible.
