Alister E. McGrath Quote

Hebrew idiom that the translators interpreted literally and so failed to appreciate the general drift of the text. The idiom to rise up early to do something actually means to do something continually. Hence the second of the quotations just noted has the following meaning: They did not listen to my words which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets; even though I sent them continually they still would not listen to them.
