Prov. 22.29.
That is acknowledged to be my house, and b[illegible: 1 letter]ars my name, dedicated to me.
That is, after they had appeared before God with their Sacrifices, either they thought [illegible: 1 letter]hemselves safe from all danger, and freed from Gods judgments, Mal. 3.15. Or rat[illegible: 1 letter]er priviledged to return to all those wickednesses again, hereby noting their impudence, See Isa. 1.12, &c.
