Caves are found along the sides of the banks of the Jordan that
are at first one story high, then two stories and, as the river
increases in depth, three-story caves are found.
At certain periods of the year the river overflows its banks.
The wild animals native to that country seek a refuge in the
one-story caves for a time. As the river swells and grows more
turbid, the wild creatures seek shelter in the two-story caves.
When the river attains to high-water mark, the animals run for
their life to the third-story caves. When these overflow, then
these beasts at bay are caught and killed.
How many men are hiding away from God in the caves and strongholds of
their transgressions. But when the high tides of misfortune come, their
sin will find them out.
