I have blotted out as a thick cloud, thy transgressions] As the Sunne, when it breaketh forth, dispelleth the clouds with his bright beams, Job 37:11. Psalms 18:12. Or, as the wind scattereth them, be they never so thick, Psal 68. 2. Proverbs 25:23. Or, as a cloud vanisheth away, and appeareth no more, then as if it had never been, Job 7:9. and Job 30:15. Hosea 6:4. and Hosea 13:3. James 4:14. so do I put away thy sinnes, Chap. 43. 25. that rise up, as a cloud, between thee and me, Chap. 59. 2. hindering the light of my countenance, from shining forth upon thee, Chap. 57. 17. and thy prayers from finding accesse into my presence, Lamentations 3:44. Or, I wipe away as with a thick cloud thy transgressions, and as with a cloud thy sinnes. the preposition omitted, as Chap. 42. 21. Psal. 17. 7, 13, 14. I wash away thy sinnes, as the clouds, with showers of rain, wash away the filth and slime of the earth, Ezekiel 22:24. I have redeemed thee] And therefore have best right to thee, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
