Chapter LII.—Such a Confession is Pleasing to
God.
The Lord, brethren, stands in need of nothing; and He
desires nothing of any one except that confession be made to Him.
For, says the elect David, “I
will confess unto the Lord; and that will please Him more than a young
bullock
4278
that hath horns and
hoofs. Let the poor see it, and be glad.”
4279
And again he saith,
“Offer
4280
unto God the
sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows unto the Most High. And
call upon me in the day of thy trouble: I will deliver thee, and
thou shalt glorify me.”
4281
For
“the sacrifice of God is a broken spirit.”
