Deuteronomy 28:29

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

And you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no man shall save you.

Verse 28 Read Chapter 28 Verse 30

Ephrem The Syrian

AD 373

At times when we were in error, mired in the pride of our mind as if with our feet in the mud, we did not perceive our error because our soul was unable to see itself. Although we would look [into the mirror] each day, we would “grope around” in the dark “like blind men.” Our inner mind did not possess that which is necessary for discernment.
