42 And Jehovah said to me, Say to them, Go· not ·up, neither fight, for I am not among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 42. But the Lord says to the soul through the Word that it should not attempt to attain heaven or fight against evil in its own strength; for the Lord would not be with it in such case, and it would succumb to evil in temptations.
