Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
We have heard the words, “﻿Vanity of vanities; all is vanity,﻿” sounding in our hearts; and now do you think that, if the Lord had meant to kill us, he would have taught us this? Why, no; he would have said, “﻿Let them alone, they are given unto idols. They are only going to have one world in which they can rejoice; let them enjoy it.﻿” He would have let the swine go on with their husks if he had not meant to turn them into his children, and bring them to his own bosom.
