7 Years of Trust
Hester was in jail for a crime that she only half committed. Although there was another person that partook in the crime, Hester was the one who bore the child and therefore bore the shame. Hester was publicly humiliated and dishonored for her sin, when there was another person, equally as sinful, being lifted up and reverenced for his righteousness.
