• The last verse properly applies to earth. But there is a truth yet connected with this I have not noticed.

If we grieve Him, we are made sorry, humbled, perhaps chastened. It is always our place, but its realization and enjoyment depend on the revelations and action of the Holy Ghost in us, and these depend on our walk, and state, and obedience.
