Lorsque le peuple de Dieu s'éloignait de lui (dans les récits bibliques de l'Ancien Testament), l'accent était mis d'autant plus sur sa fidélité, de sorte que le seul espoir de son peuple errant reposait non seulement sur sa grâce et sa miséricorde, mais aussi sur sa fidélité, qui contraste fortement avec le manque de foi et l'inconstance de son peuple.
Gaspar Hodge
When God’s people departed from Him (in the Old Testament biblical accounts) all the more emphasis was put upon His faithfulness, so that the only hope of His wayward people lay not only in His grace and mercy but also in His faithfulness, which stands in marked contrast with the faithlessness and inconstancy of His people.
