(10) Wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?--"Why is this, that thou art fallen upon thy face? Israel hath sinned." The pronoun "thou" is emphatic.

Verse 10. - Get thee up. Not puerile lamentation, but action, is ever the duty of the soldier of the Lord. If defeat assails either the individual or the cause, there is a reason for it, and this must be promptly searched out, and with God's aid be discovered. The sin or error once found out and put away, the combat may be renewed and brought to a successful issue.
