And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
Y tomando el profeta el cuerpo del varón de Dios, lo puso sobre el asno, y se lo llevó. Y el profeta viejo vino a la ciudad, para endecharle y enterrarle.
Verses 23-34 - God is displeased at the sins of his own people; and no man shall be protected in disobedience, by his office, his nearness to God, or an services he has done for him. Godwarns all whom he employs, strictl to observe their orders. We cannot judge of men by their sufferings nor of sins by present punishments; with some, the flesh is destroyed that the spirit may be saved; with others, the flesh is pampered, tha the soul may ripen for hell. Jeroboam returned not from his evil way He promised himself that the calves would secure the crown to his family, but they lost it, and sunk his family. Those betray themselve who think to support themselves by any sin whatever. Let us drea prospering in sinful ways; pray to be kept from every delusion an temptation, and to be enabled to walk with self-denying perseverance in the way of God's commands __________________________________________________________________
