'_Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?
Yet my people have forgotten me days without number, saith the Lord God_.' Yes, your minds are too puny to entertain the full worship of God: do you think they are spacious enough to harbor the worship of Baal side by side with it?
Much less dare you pretend that the Baal altar is erected for the honor of God, that you may come into His presence comely and clean.

It is but a few days since I stood in the presence of a woman who boasted to me that she bore upon her the value of two hundred pounds of our money.

I cared little for the value of money that was upon her.

But what shall be said of the weight of sin her attire represented?
For, those costly garments were the wages of sin--of hardened, shameless, damnable sin.

Yet there is not before me a finer dress or a fairer face.
