Our object in these chapters will be to see what those divers voices and manners of God's speaking mean for us in our time and our lives: not a full-scale study of the Prophets, but just the salient message for our instruction, comfort, guidance and - perhaps - warning. Deeper than the words of Scripture, there is a voice; and it was - and is - possible to hear the words and miss the voice. The words are the statements; the voice is the meaning. "Every sabbath" they heard the words, but not the voice.
