Abijah's Reign over Judah. . 1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD , and all Israel with him. 2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD , 3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD , Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD , and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. 11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD , the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. 12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well. Israel was very much disgraced and weakened by being divided into two kingdoms; yet the kingdom of Judah, having both the temple and the royal city, both the house of David and the house of Aaron, might have done very well if they had continued in the way of their duty; but here we have all out of order there. I. Rehoboam and his people left God: He forsook the law of the Lord, and so in effect forsook God, and all Israel with him, 2 Chronicles 12:1 ; 2 Chronicles 12:1 . He had his happy triennium, when he walked in the way of David and Solomon ( 2 Chronicles 11:17 ; 2 Chronicles 11:17 ), but it expired, and he grew remiss in the worship of God; in what instances we are not told, but he fell off, and Judah with him, here called Israel, because they walked in the evil ways into which Jeroboam had drawn the kingdom of Israel. Thus he did when he had established the kingdom and strengthened himself. As long as he thought his throne tottered he kept to his duty, that he might make God his friend; but, when he found it stood pretty firmly, he thought he had no more occasion for religion; he was safe enough without it. Thus the prosperity of fools destroys them. Jeshurun waxed fat and kicked. When men prosper, and are in no apprehension of troubles, they are ready to say to God, Depart from us. II. God quickly brought troubles upon them, to awaken them, and recover them to repentance, before their hearts were hardened. It was but in the fourth year of Rehoboam that they began to corrupt themselves, and in the fifth year the king of Egypt came up against them with a vast army, took the fenced cities of Judah, and came against Jerusalem, 2 Chronicles 12:2 ; 2 Chronicles 12:3 ; 2 Chronicles 12:4 . This great calamity coming upon them so soon after they began to desert the worship of God, by a hand they had little reason to suspect (having had a great deal of friendly correspondence with Egypt in the last reign), and coming with so much violence that all the fenced cities of Judah, which Rehoboam had lately fortified and garrisoned and on which he relied much for the safety of his kingdom, fell immediately into the hands of the enemy, without making any resistance, plainly showed that it was from the Lord, because they had transgressed against him. III. Lest they should not readily or not rightly understand the meaning of this providence, God by the word explains the rod, 2 Chronicles 12:5 ; 2 Chronicles 12:5 . When the princes of Judah had all met at Jerusalem, probably in a great council of war, to concert measures for their own safety in this critical juncture, he sent a prophet to them, the same that had brought them an injunction from God not to fight against the ten tribes ( 2 Chronicles 11:2 ; 2 Chronicles 11:2 ), Shemaiah by name; he told them plainly that the reason why Shishak prevailed against them was not because they had been impolitic in the management of their affairs (which perhaps the princes in this congress were at this time scrutinizing), but because they had forsaken God. God never leaves any till they first leave him. IV. The rebukes both of the word and of the rod being thus joined, the king and princes humbled themselves before God for their iniquity, penitently acknowledged the sin, and patiently accepted the punishment of it, saying, The Lord is righteous, 2 Chronicles 12:6 ; 2 Chronicles 12:6 . "We have none to blame but ourselves; let God be clear when he judgeth." Thus it becomes us, when we are under the rebukes of Providence, to justify God and judge ourselves. Even kings and princes must either bend or break before God, either be humbled or be ruined. V. Upon the profession they made of repentance God showed them some favour, saved them from ruin, and yet left them under some remaining fears of the judgment, to prevent their revolt again. 1. God, in mercy, prevented the destruction they were now upon the brink of. Such a vast and now victorious army as Shishak had, having made themselves masters of all the fenced cities, what could be expected but that the whole country, and even Jerusalem itself, would in a little time be theirs? But when God saith, Here shall the proud waves be stayed, the most threatening force strangely dwindles and becomes impotent. Here again the destroying angel, when he comes to Jerusalem, is forbidden to destroy it: " My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem; not at this time, not by this hand, not utterly to destroy it," 2 Chronicles 12:7 ; 2 Chronicles 12:12 . Note, Those that acknowledge God righteous in afflicting them shall find him gracious. Those that humble themselves before him shall find favour with him. So ready is the God of mercy to take the first occasion to show mercy. If we have humbled hearts under humbling providences, the affliction has done its work, and it shall either be removed or the property of it altered. 2. He granted them some deliverance, not complete, but in part; he gave them some advantages against the enemy, so that they recruited a little; he gave them deliverance for a little while, so some. They reformed but partially, and for a little while, soon relapsing again; and, as their reformation was, so was their deliverance. Yet it is said ( 2 Chronicles 12:12 ; 2 Chronicles 12:12 ), in Judah things went well, and began to look with a better face. (1.) In respect of piety. There were good things in Judah (so it is in the margin), good ministers, good people, good families, who were made better by the calamities of their country. Note, In times of great corruption and degeneracy it is some comfort if there be a remnant among whom good things ar found; this is a ground of hope in Israel. (2.) In respect of prosperity. In Judah things went ill when all the fenced cities were taken ( 2 Chronicles 12:4 ; 2 Chronicles 12:4 ), but when they repented the posture of their affairs altered, and things went well. Note, If things do not go so well as we could wish, yet we have reason to take notice of it with thankfulness if they go better than was to have been expected, better than formerly, and better than we deserved. We should own God's goodness if he do but grant us some deliverance. 3. Yet he left them to smart sorely by the hand of Shishak, both in their liberty and in their wealth. (1.) In their liberty ( 2 Chronicles 12:8 ; 2 Chronicles 12:8 ): They shall be his servants (that is, they shall lie much at his mercy and be put under contribution by him, and some of them perhaps be taken prisoners and held in captivity by him), that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. They complained, it may be, of the strictness of their religion, and forsook the law of the Lord ( 2 Chronicles 12:1 ; 2 Chronicles 12:1 ) because they thought it a yoke to hard, too heavy, upon them. "Well," saith God, "let them better themselves if they can; let the neighbouring princes rule them awhile, since they are not willing that I should rule them, and let them try how they like that. They might have served God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, and would not; let them serve their enemies then in hunger and thirst ( Deuteronomy 28:47 ; Deuteronomy 28:48 ), till they think of returning to their first Master, for then it was better with them, " Hosea 2:7 . This, some think, is the meaning of Ezekiel 20:24 ; Ezekiel 20:25 . Because they despised my statutes, I gave them statutes that were not good. Note, [1.] The more God's service is compared with other services the more reasonable and easy it will appear. [2.] Whatever difficulties or hardships we may imagine there are in the way of obedience, it is better a thousand times to go through them than to expose ourselves to the punishment of disobedience. Are the laws of temperance thought hard? The effects of intemperance will be much harder. The service of virtue is perfect liberty; the service of lust is perfect slavery. (2.) In their wealth. The king of Egypt plundered both the temple and the exchequer, the treasuries of both which Solomon left very full; but he took them away; yea, he took all, all he could lay his hands on, 2 Chronicles 12:9 ; 2 Chronicles 12:9 . This was what he came for. David and Solomon, who walked in the way of God, filled the treasuries, one by war and the other by merchandise; but Rehoboam, who forsook the law of God, emptied them. The taking away of the golden shields, and the substituting of brazen ones in their place ( 2 Chronicles 12:9-11 ; 2 Chronicles 12:9-11 ), we had an account of before, 1 Kings 14:25-28 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-13-16" class="com-number"

이스라엘은 두 왕국으로 분열되어 크게 수치를 당하고 약해졌다. 그러나 유다 왕국은 성전과 왕도(王都)를, 다윗의 집안과 아론의 집안을 모두 갖추고 있었으므로, 본분을 지켰다면 충분히 잘 될 수 있었다. 그런데 이 장에서 우리는 그 모든 것이 무너지는 것을 본다.

**I. 르호보암과 백성이 하나님을 떠났다.** 그는 여호와의 율법을 버렸고, 온 이스라엘이 그와 함께하였다(역대하 12:1). 그에게는 행복한 3년이 있었다. 그때 그는 다윗과 솔로몬의 길을 걸었으나(역대하 11:17), 그 기간이 지나자 하나님 경배에 태만해졌다. 어떤 모습으로 타락했는지는 구체적으로 기록되지 않았으나, 그는 떨어져 나갔고 유다도 그와 함께 떨어져 나갔다. 이 장에서 유다는 "이스라엘"로 불리는데, 그들이 여로보암이 이끌던 이스라엘 왕국의 악한 길을 따라갔기 때문이다. 이 일은 그가 왕국을 세우고 스스로를 강화한 이후에 일어났다. 왕좌가 흔들린다고 생각하는 동안에는 하나님의 친구가 되어야 한다고 여겨 본분을 지켰지만, 왕좌가 확고해지자 더 이상 종교가 필요하지 않다고 생각했다. 어리석은 자들에게 있어서 번영은 오히려 그들을 멸망시킨다. 여수룬이 살찌자 발로 찼다. 형통하여 어려움이 없다고 느낄 때, 사람들은 하나님께 "우리에게서 떠나소서"라고 말하기 쉽다.

**II. 하나님께서는 곧 환난을 내려 그들을 깨우치시고 마음이 굳어지기 전에 회개로 돌이키셨다.** 르호보암 4년에 그들이 타락하기 시작했고, 5년에 이집트 왕이 대군을 이끌고 올라와 유다의 견고한 성읍들을 취하고 예루살렘으로 쳐들어왔다(역대하 12:2-4). 이 큰 재앙은 그들이 하나님을 떠나기 시작한 직후에 닥쳤다. 그들이 별로 경계하지 않았던 이집트의 손을 통해(전 왕 때 이집트와 우호적인 교류가 많았기 때문에), 그토록 큰 위세로 덮쳐왔고, 르호보암이 최근에 공들여 요새화하고 주둔시켰던 유다의 견고한 성읍들이 아무 저항도 없이 적의 손에 떨어진 것은 분명히 하나님에게서 온 일이었다. 그들이 하나님을 거슬러 범죄하였기 때문이다.

**III. 하나님께서는 말씀을 통해 이 섭리의 의미를 해설하셨다.** 유다의 방백들이 이 위기에 대처하기 위해 예루살렘에 대회의를 열었을 때, 하나님께서는 선지자를 보내셨다. 전에 열 지파와 싸우지 말라는 하나님의 명령을 전했던 바로 그 스마야였다(역대하 11:2). 그는 그들에게 시삭이 그들을 이긴 것이 그들의 정책 실수 때문이 아니라(아마도 방백들은 그 원인을 따지고 있었을 것이다) 하나님을 버렸기 때문이라고 분명히 말했다. 하나님께서는 먼저 떠나시는 일이 없으시다. 누군가 먼저 하나님을 떠나야만 하나님도 그를 떠나신다.

**IV. 말씀의 책망과 매의 책망이 함께 임하자, 왕과 방백들은 그 죄악으로 인해 하나님 앞에 스스로를 낮추었다.** 그들은 회개하며 죄를 인정하고 그 형벌을 겸손히 받아들이며 "여호와는 의로우시다"고 말하였다(역대하 12:6). "비난할 것은 우리 자신뿐이다. 하나님께서 심판하실 때 그분이 옳다." 이처럼 섭리의 책망 아래에서 하나님을 의롭다 하고 스스로를 정죄하는 것이 마땅하다. 왕과 방백일지라도 하나님 앞에서 굽히든지 아니면 꺾이든지 둘 중 하나다. 낮아지든지 아니면 멸망당하든지.

**V. 그들이 회개를 고백하자 하나님께서는 은혜를 베푸셨다.** 그들을 멸망에서 건지셨고, 그러나 심판의 징표도 남겨 두어 다시 반역하지 않도록 하셨다.

1. **하나님께서는 그들이 처해 있던 멸망의 위기에서 자비로 막아 주셨다.** 모든 견고한 성읍을 이미 함락한 그토록 방대하고 전승을 구가하던 군대라면, 온 나라와 예루살렘조차 곧 그들의 것이 될 것이 아니었겠는가? 그러나 하나님께서 "교만한 파도야, 여기에서 멈추어라"라고 말씀하시면, 가장 위협적인 세력도 이상하게 줄어들어 힘을 잃는다. 예루살렘에 이르던 멸망의 천사는 또다시 멈추라는 명령을 받는다. "내 진노가 예루살렘에 쏟아지지 않을 것이다. 이때에는, 이 손을 통해서는, 완전히 멸망하도록 내버려 두지 않겠다"(역대하 12:7, 12). 환난 중에 하나님을 의롭다 하는 자들은 하나님께서 은혜로우심을 발견하게 될 것이다. 그분 앞에 스스로를 낮추는 자들은 그분의 은총을 받을 것이다. 하나님께서는 은혜를 베풀 첫 번째 기회를 기꺼이 잡으신다. 겸손한 마음으로 겸손케 하시는 섭리를 받아들이면, 환난은 그 역할을 다한 것이며 환난이 제거되거나 그 성격이 바뀔 것이다.

2. **하나님께서는 어느 정도의 구원을 베푸셨다.** 완전하지는 않지만 부분적인 구원이었다. 하나님께서는 적에게 대항하여 어느 정도 승리를 거두게 하셨고, 그들이 약간 회복되게 하셨다. 어떤 사람들은 "잠깐 동안의 구원"이라고 해석하기도 한다. 그들은 부분적으로, 그리고 잠깐 개혁했다가 곧 다시 타락했다. 그들의 개혁이 그러했듯이 그들의 구원도 그러했다. 그러나 역대하 12:12은 말한다. "유다에서도 선한 일이 있었다." 유다에서 일이 잘 되고 전망이 밝아지기 시작했다.

(1) **경건의 면에서.** 유다에 선한 것들이 있었다(난외주). 선한 목사들, 선한 백성들, 선한 가정들이 있었고, 나라의 재난을 통해 더욱 나아졌다. 큰 부패와 타락의 시대에도 선한 것들이 발견되는 남은 자가 있다면 위안이 된다. 이것이 이스라엘 안의 소망의 근거이다.

(2) **번영의 면에서.** 모든 견고한 성읍이 함락되었을 때(역대하 12:4) 유다의 형편은 나빴지만, 그들이 회개하자 처지가 바뀌어 형편이 좋아졌다. 우리가 바라는 만큼 잘 되지 않더라도, 기대했던 것보다 낫다면, 이전보다 낫다면, 받을 자격이 있는 것보다 낫다면, 하나님의 선하심을 인정하며 감사해야 한다. 하나님께서 어느 정도의 구원만 베푸셔도 우리는 그 선하심을 고백해야 한다.

3. **그러나 하나님께서는 시삭의 손을 통해 그들이 자유와 재물 두 가지 면에서 모두 큰 손실을 당하게 하셨다.**

(1) **자유의 면에서**(역대하 12:8). "그들이 그의 종이 될 것이다." 즉 그들은 그에게 크게 종속되어 공물을 바쳐야 하고, 그들 중 일부는 포로로 붙잡혀 억류될 것이다. 이는 "내 섬김이 어떤 것인지, 그리고 다른 나라 왕들의 섬김이 어떤 것인지 알게 하려 함이다." 그들은 종교의 엄격함을 불평하며 여호와의 율법을 버렸다(역대하 12:1). 그 멍에가 너무 무겁다고 생각했기 때문이다. "좋다"고 하나님께서 말씀하신다. "이웃 왕들이 그들을 통치해 보도록 해라. 내가 통치하는 것이 싫으니 말이다. 그것이 어떤지 한번 맛보아라. 기쁨과 즐거운 마음으로 하나님을 섬길 수 있었는데 그렇게 하지 않았으니, 굶주리고 목마르며 적들을 섬기게 되리라"(신명기 28:47-48). "그때가 더 좋았으니 첫 남편에게로 돌아가겠다"고 말할 때까지(호세아 2:7). 어떤 사람들은 이것이 에스겔 20:24-25의 의미라고 생각한다. "그들이 내 율례를 멸시하였기 때문에 나는 그들에게 선하지 않은 율례를 주었다." 주의할 것: [1] 하나님의 섬김이 다른 섬김들과 비교될수록 더욱 합리적이고 쉬운 것으로 드러난다. [2] 순종의 길에 어떤 어려움과 고통이 있다고 생각하더라도, 불순종의 형벌에 처하는 것보다는 천 배 낫다. 절제의 법이 가혹하다고 여겨지는가? 무절제의 결과는 훨씬 더 가혹하다. 덕의 섬김은 완전한 자유요, 정욕의 섬김은 완전한 노예이다.

(2) **재물의 면에서.** 이집트 왕은 성전과 왕실 곳간을 약탈했다. 솔로몬은 그 두 곳간을 가득 채워 두었으나 시삭이 다 가져갔다. 하나님의 길을 걸었던 다윗과 솔로몬은 전쟁과 무역으로 곳간을 채웠지만, 하나님의 율법을 버린 르호보암은 곳간을 비웠다. 금 방패들을 빼앗기고 놋 방패들로 대체한 일(역대하 12:9-11)은 이미 열왕기상 14:25-28에 기록되어 있다.

S E C O N D C H R O N I C L E S CHAP. XII. This chapter gives us a more full account of the reign of Rehoboam than we had before in Kings and it is a very melancholy account. Methinks we are in the book of Judges again; for, I. Rehoboam and his people did evil in the sight of the Lord, 2 Chronicles 12:1 . II. God thereupon sold them into the hands of Shishak, king of Egypt, who greatly oppressed them, 2 Chronicles 12:2-4 . III. God sent a prophet to them, to expound to them the judgment and to call them to repentance, 2 Chronicles 12:5 . IV. They thereupon humbled themselves, 2 Chronicles 12:6 . V. God, upon their repentance, turned from his anger ( 2 Chronicles 12:7 ; 2 Chronicles 12:12 ) and yet left them under the marks of his displeasure, 2 Chronicles 12:8-11 . Lastly, Here is a general character of Rehoboam and his reign, with the conclusion of it, 2 Chronicles 12:13-16 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-12" class="com-number"

역대하 12장은 열왕기보다 더 상세하게 르호보암의 통치를 전해 주며, 그 내용은 매우 슬픈 것이다. 이 장을 읽으면 마치 사사기 시대로 돌아간 듯한 느낌이 든다. 첫째, 르호보암과 백성이 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하였다(역대하 12:1). 둘째, 하나님께서는 이에 대한 응징으로 그들을 이집트 왕 시삭의 손에 넘기셨고, 시삭은 그들을 크게 압제하였다(역대하 12:2-4). 셋째, 하나님께서는 선지자를 보내어 이 심판의 의미를 해설하시고 회개를 촉구하셨다(역대하 12:5). 넷째, 그들은 이에 스스로를 낮추었다(역대하 12:6). 다섯째, 하나님께서는 그들의 회개를 보시고 진노를 거두셨으나(역대하 12:7, 12), 그래도 징벌의 흔적은 남겨 두셨다(역대하 12:8-11). 끝으로 르호보암의 통치에 대한 전반적인 평가와 그 마감이 기록되어 있다(역대하 12:13-16).

Jeroboam Defeated by Abijah. . 13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD . 15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. The story of Rehoboam's reign is here concluded, much as the story of the other reigns concludes. Two things especially are observable here:-- 1. That he was at length pretty well fixed in his kingdom, 2 Chronicles 12:13 ; 2 Chronicles 12:13 . His fenced cities in Judah did not answer his expectation, so he now strengthened himself in Jerusalem, which he made it his business to fortify, and there he reigned seventeen years, in the city which the Lord had chosen to put his name there. This intimates his honour and privilege, that he had his royal seat in the holy city, which yet was but an aggravation of his impiety--near the temple, but far from God. Frequent skirmishes there were between his subjects and Jeroboam's, such as amounted to continual wars, ( 2 Chronicles 12:15 ; 2 Chronicles 12:15 ), but he held his own, and reigned, and, as it should seem, did not so grossly forsake the law of God as he had done ( 2 Chronicles 12:1 ; 2 Chronicles 12:1 ) in his fourth year. 2. That he was never rightly fixed in his religion, 2 Chronicles 12:14 ; 2 Chronicles 12:14 . He never quite cast off God; and yet in this he did evil, that he prepared not, he engaged not, his heart to seek the Lord. See what the fault is laid upon. (1.) He did not serve the Lord because he did not seek the Lord. He did not pray, as Solomon did, for wisdom and grace. If we prayed better, we should be every way better. Or he did not consult the word of God, did not seek to that as his oracle, nor take directions from it. (2.) He made nothing of his religion because he did not set his heart to it, never minded it with any closeness of application, and never any hearty disposition to it, nor ever came up to a steady resolution in it. What little goodness he had was transient and passed away like the morning cloud. He did evil because he was never determined for that which is good. Those are easily drawn by Satan to any evil who are wavering and inconstant in that which is good and are never persuaded to make religion their business. return to ' Top of Page ' 2 Chronicles 2Ch 11 2 Chronicles 2Ch 2 Chronicles 2Ch 13 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

르호보암 왕의 이야기는 다른 왕들의 이야기가 끝나는 것과 비슷하게 마무리된다. 특별히 주목할 만한 두 가지가 있다.

**1. 그는 결국 왕국을 꽤 안정시켰다**(역대하 12:13). 유다의 견고한 성읍들이 그의 기대에 미치지 못했으므로, 이제 그는 예루살렘 방어에 집중했다. 예루살렘은 여호와께서 자신의 이름을 두시려고 선택하신 도성이었다. 이것은 그의 명예와 특권을 보여 주지만, 동시에 그의 불경건을 더욱 가중시키기도 한다. 성전 가까이 있었지만 하나님과는 멀었기 때문이다. 그의 신하들과 여로보암의 신하들 사이에는 잦은 충돌이 있었고, 이것이 끊임없는 전쟁이 되었다(역대하 12:15). 그러나 그는 자기 것을 지켰고 통치하였으며, 4년에 저질렀던 것처럼(역대하 12:1) 그렇게까지 하나님의 율법을 저버리지는 않은 듯 보인다.

**2. 그는 결코 종교에 있어서 바르게 확고히 서지 못했다**(역대하 12:14). 그는 하나님을 완전히 버리지는 않았다. 그러나 이 점에서 그는 악을 행하였으니, 여호와를 구하기 위해 마음을 준비하지 않았다는 것이다. 그 잘못이 무엇에 있는지 주목하라.

(1) **그는 여호와를 구하지 않았기 때문에 여호와를 섬기지 않았다.** 솔로몬처럼 지혜와 은혜를 위해 기도하지 않았다. 우리가 더 잘 기도했다면 모든 면에서 더 나아질 것이다. 또는 그는 하나님의 말씀을 구하지 않았다. 그것을 자신의 신탁으로 삼지 않았고 그 지침을 받지 않았다.

(2) **그는 마음을 집중하지 않았기 때문에 종교에서 아무것도 얻지 못했다.** 그는 열심히 종교에 집중하거나 정성껏 임하거나 굳건히 결단한 적이 결코 없었다. 그에게 있었던 약간의 선함은 아침 구름처럼 잠시 있다가 사라졌다. 그는 선을 위해 결단한 일이 없었기 때문에 악을 행하였다. 선한 것에 흔들리고 일관성이 없으며 종교를 자신의 업으로 삼도록 설득된 적이 없는 자는 사탄에게 어떤 악으로도 쉽게 이끌린다.
