It is another peculiarity of the comprehensive wisdom of the bible, that scarce a chapter, unless it be strictly narrative, can be turned to, that does not contain some searching truth that is applicable to the condition of every human heart, as well as to the temporal state of its owner, either through the workings of that heart, or even in a still more direct form.

From Chapter 21 of The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper
