Jeremiah 23:28: What is the chaff, the word of man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
What is the chaff, the word of man,
When set against the wheat?
Can it a dying soul sustain.
Like that immortal meat?
Thy word, O God, with heavenly bread
The children doth supply.
And those who by Thy word are fed
Their souls shall never die.
