Jehu thought himself a very zealous man, but he was not careful to walk in the way of the Lord with all his heart; and it is testified of him that he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam all his days (cf. 2 Kings 10:16, 31). He did many good things, but his eyes looked aside to his honor and profit. All the splendid actions he performed were but so many splendid sins.
all the splendid actions - so many splendid sins
all the splendid actions - so many splendid sins
