For the people turn not unto him that strikes them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 9:13 Go To Isaiah 9
Gregory the Theologian
AD 390
It is better to turn again when we err than to be free from correction when we stumble. For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and a rebuke is a fatherly action. Every soul that is not chastised is not healed. Is not then freedom from chastisement a hard thing? But to fail to be corrected by the chastisement is still harder.
