Now carnal hearts do not find that power in the Word, that healing virtue that is in it, to heal their distracting cares, and the troubles of their spirits; but when those who are godly come to hear the Word, they find in it, as it were, a plaster for all their wounds, and so they come to have ease and contentment in such conditions as are very grievous and miserable to others.

I spoke to ears that refused to hear.

I saw a film today, oh boy.The English army had just won the war.A crowd of people turned away.But I just had to look,Having read the book.I'd love to turn you on.

Julia was blind and deaf to to the truth. She was ignorant. Did one reprove a blind woman for inability to see? Did one become angry with the deaf for not hearing?

To whom shall I speak and give warning That they may hear? Behold, their ears are closed And they cannot listen. —JEREMIAH 6:10 NASB

It is the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe. God has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing. And on their hearts is a veil; Great is the chastisement they incur.
