Judg 2:4 · Douay-Rheims
“And when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and wept.”
On this verse:
“when the angel of the Lord spake these words . . . the people lifted up their voice, and wept--The angel's expostulation made a deep and painful impression. But the reformation was but temporary, and the gratifying promise of a revival which this scene of emotion held out, was, ere long, blasted by speedy and deeper relapses into the guilt of defection and idolatry.”
