Religious Aspiration

Among the prophets there are two in particular for whom their official task became a veritable
means of grace. These two are Hosea and Jeremiah.

This seems due to, or at least in line with, the
temperamental endowment of both in which the element of sanctified emotion played an important
part. In their case, probably, it was along the line of feeling that closeness of communion with God
was obtained. In virtue of this their religious aspiration made straight for the possession of the
heart of God.

And Jeremiah had this faculty in an even stronger degree than his predecessor Hosea.

Jeremiah reveals it in his profound treatment of the conscience in connection with the fact of sin:
“The heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” (17:9).
