• There is no place of learning but in the sanctuary. There the will is bowed—there God is known—there the eye is not obscured by the passions of the world, and an ignorance of how to do what God alone could not do—make allowance for any good, have perfect patience with evil, so that judgment shall be simply on evil, and be true judgment on evil without excuse.

He had been thinking of what men say and do; now he sees what God is doing in relation to the wicked. (“Psalms 73” by H. Smith)
• But turning to God the remnant find a solace in His sanctuary. They learn that the apostates cannot go on long in their wickedness (vs. 17). (“Book 3.” by B. Anstey)
