Chapter XXXVII.—Utterances of the
Father.
And that this too may be clear to you, there were
spoken from the person of the Father through Isaiah the prophet, the
following words: “The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his
master’s crib; but Israel doth not know, and My people hath not
understood. Woe, sinful nation, a people full of sins, a wicked seed,
children that are transgressors, ye have forsaken the Lord.”1841
| 1841 Isa. i.
3. This quotation varies only in one word from that of the
LXX. | And again elsewhere, when the same prophet speaks in
like manner from the person of the Father, “What is the house that
ye will build for Me? saith the Lord. The heaven is My throne, and the
earth is My footstool.”1842
And
again, in another place, “Your new moons and your sabbaths My soul
hateth; and the great day of the fast and of ceasing from labour I cannot
away with; nor, if ye come to be seen of Me, will I hear you: your hands
are full of blood; and if ye bring fine flour, incense, it is abomination
unto Me: the fat of lambs and the blood of bulls I do not desire. For who
hath required this at your hands? But loose every bond of wickedness,
tear asunder the tight knots of violent contracts, cover the houseless
and naked, deal thy bread to the hungry.”1843
What kind of things are
taught through the prophets from [the person of] God, you can now
