“Unworthy men full of complaint against an economy that would not let them live like demons, and be blessed as seraphs!”
Fuller quote:
For him who complains and comes not near, who shall plead?--The Son of the Father, saying, "They know not what they do." He began to wonder whether even an all-mighty and all-good God would be able to contrive such a world as no somebody in it would ever complain of. What if he had plans too large for the vision of men to take in, and they were uncomfortable to their own blame, because, not seeing them, they would trust him for nothing? He knew unworthy men full of complaint against an economy that would not let them live like demons, and be blessed as seraphs! Why should not a man at least wait and see what the possible being was about to do with him, perhaps for him, before he accused or denied him? At worst he would be no worse for the waiting!
Selah.
