Thou Hast Clothing, Etc

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Thou hast, at least, a respectable-looking raiment. Take the government of the ruined state into thy hands. But the individual approached shall refuse emphatically to accept the offer. His answer is: It is a physician the people need, and I am not a healer (v. 7). I have no food and no clothes in my house to distribute. It would do you no good to put me at the head of the government, if it is maintenance you are expecting. Look at their faces. (v. 9) Their appearance testifies against them. They cannot hide their sin.
