* The voice.
How wonderful, says Mr. Scott, is that difference which there
is betwixt the faces and the voices of the several individuals
of the human species! Scarcely any two of the innumerable
millions are exactly alike in either, and yet the difference
cannot be defined or described! The power, wisdom, and
kindness of our Creator should be admired and adored in this
remarkable circumstance; for they are very visible. This
description of Jacob is not unaptly accommodated to the
character of a hypocrite: his voice, his language, is that of
a Christian; his hands, or conduct, that of an ungodly man:
but the judgment will proceed from God, the Judge of all, at
the last day, as in the present case, not by the voice, but by
the hands.
