Hebrews 3:17

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Hebrews 3:17. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

How he speaks of them, and calls them "carcases"! He never speaks of his children so; and you remember that in the Old Testament the unredeemed man is comparable to the ass. "Thou shall not redeem him; thou shalt break his neck"; but the redeemed man is comparable to the sheep. Valuable property is in him, and God esteems him. "Whose carcases fell in the wilderness."
