Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 32:19 Go To Jeremiah 32
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
You, as a person, know any other person from the way he appears outside. You think the way you see. And you see as far only as your eyes do. But the Scripture says, “The eyes of the Lord are lofty,” “People look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart,” “The Lord sees and knows his own,” and “the plant that my heavenly Father has not planted, he roots up,” and “the first shall,” as he shows, “be last,” and he carries “his fan in his hand to purge his threshing floor.” Let the chaff of a fickle faith fly off as much as it will at every blast of temptation; all the purer will be that heap of corn that shall be laid up in the garner of the Lord.
