Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

What communion between light and darkness, between Christ and Belial? Therefore thou must break off thy league with them if thou wilt come into covenant with me." As we read it, God promises to bring Ephraim and keep him to this: Ephraim shall say, God will put it into his heart to say it, What have I to do any more with idols?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It may be also implied, that whatever spiritual graces Ephraim seeks for or may have, are not of themselves, but of God (Ps 1:3; God's promises to us are more our security for mortifying sin than our promises to God (Isa 27:9).
