27
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 27. Forbeareth. Septuagint “disbelieveth, let him disbelieve.” So we read, He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; (Revelation 22:11) which denotes the most desperate condition. Bible.—Aquila (2 edit.) has, “he who abandons, shall be abandoned.” Saint Jerome—The man who makes good use of grace shall receive more; but he who despises the offers of God, shall be justly deprived of them in his greatest need.
