Adam Clarke, on Esth 4:3
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 4:3 · Douay-Rheims
“And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king’s cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed.”
On this verse:
“Fasting, and weeping, and wailing - How astonishing, that in all this there is not the slightest intimation given of praying to God!”
