Jeremiah 37:14-15 - Homilies By S. Conway

Characteristics of injustice.

They may be traced in the incident recorded in these verses. Unjust judges as were these—

I. WILL NOT HEARKEN TO THE ACCUSED .

II. ARE BIASED BY PASSION .

III. ARE NEEDLESSLY CRUEL .

IV. SEEK NOT EIGHT , BUT REVENGE .

LEARN . To be careful what manner of spirit we are of whenever we are called upon to judge one another. Let us be thankful that the Judge before whom we stand, and who surveys all our ways, is that gracious Lord to whom the Father has committed all judgment, and who judges not righteously only, but in all mercy as well.—C.
