NASB | Hebrews 12:17 For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 12:17 For you know that later on, when he wanted [to regain title to] his inheritance of the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance [there was no way to repair what he had done, no chance to recall the choice he had made], even though he sought for it with [bitter] tears. [Gen 27:30-40] |
Bible Question: When is it too late to repent? Does God ever close the door before death? |
Bible Answer: The words "place of repentance" mean zan opportunity to repair by repenting. He found no way to reverse repentance what he had done. The penalty could not be reversed in the nature of the case. This is clear from Issac's words in Gen 27:33. (from word studies in the New Testament). It is never too late to repent, it can be however to late to undo the consequences of not repenting earlier. prayon |
