Jeremiah 7:29 — para el profeta , que era nazareo en virtud de su oficio, y que fue llamado a cortarse el cabello como señal de luto por las desolaciones que se avecinaban sobre su pueblo. Que cortarse el cabello era señal de angustia y luto puede verse, Esdras 9:3 ; Isaías 15:2 ; Jeremias 41:5. Pero creo que la otra posición es la construcción más natural. En lugares altos. Para que el lamento se escuche a mayor distancia. La generación de su ira. Personas expuestas al castigo: usado aquí como hijos de ira, 

Ezekiel 21:21 — he should first take; whether to humble the Ammonites by taking their metropolis, Riblath, or go at once against Jerusalem. In this case of uncertainty, he made use of divination. And this was of three kinds: 1. By arrows. 2. By images or talismans. 3. By inspecting the entrails of a sacrifice offered on the occasion.1. He made bright his arrows. This might be after the manner in which the divination is still practiced among the Arabs. These arrows were without head or wing. They took three. On one

Daniel 3:5 — Verse Daniel 3:5. The sound of the CORNET — There is not less difficulty in ascertaining the precise meaning of these musical instruments than there is in the offices in Daniel 3:2. קרנא karna, here translated cornet, is the common blowing horn, which makes

Daniel 3:5 — Versículo Daniel 3:5 . El sonido de la CORNETA. No hay menos dificultad para determinar el significado preciso de estos instrumentos musicales que la que hay en los oficios de Daniel 3:2 . קרנא karna, aquí traducido como corneta , es el cuerno común que sopla , que hace

Micah 3:12 — Verse Micah 3:12. Therefore shall Zion - be ploughed as a field — It shall undergo a variety of reverses and sackages, till at last there shall not be one stone left on the top of another, that shall not be pulled down; and then a plough shall be drawn along

Micah 3:12 — Versículo Miqueas 3:12 . Por lo tanto, Sión - será arada como un campo. Sufrirá una variedad de reveses y saqueos, hasta que al final no quede una piedra encima de otra, que no sea derribada; y entonces un arado será arrastrado a lo largo del sitio de las murallas, para

Micah 7:18 — characters they are immediately subjoined.1. He pardoneth iniquity. This is the prerogative of God alone; of that Being who alone has power to save or to destroy.2. He passeth by transgression. He can heal backsliding, and restore them that are fallen.3. He retaineth not his anger forever. Though, justly displeased because of sin, he pours out his judgments upon the wicked; yet when they return to him, he shows "that he retaineth not his anger forever," but is indescribably ready to save them.4. He

Micah 7:18 — adjuntan inmediatamente. 1. Perdona la iniquidad. Esta es una prerrogativa exclusiva de Dios; de aquel Ser que es el único que tiene poder para salvar o destruir. 2. Pasa por alto la transgresión. Puede sanar la rebelión y restaurar a los que han caído. 3. No retiene su ira para siempre. Aunque, justamente disgustado a causa del pecado, derrama sus juicios sobre los impíos; sin embargo, cuando vuelven a él, muestra "que no retiene para siempre su ira", sino que está indescriptiblemente dispuesto a salvarlos. 4.

Habakkuk 3:3 — Verse Habakkuk 3:3. God came from Teman — Bp. Lowth observes: "This is a sudden burst of poetry, in the true spirit of the ode; the concealed connection being that God, who had formerly displayed such power in delivering the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, might

Habakkuk 3:3 — Versículo Habacuc 3:3 . Dios vino de Temán. Bp. Lowth observa: "Este es un estallido repentino de poesía, en el verdadero espíritu de la oda; la conexión oculta es que Dios, que anteriormente había mostrado tal poder al liberar a los israelitas de la esclavitud egipcia,

Matthew 19:1 — CHAPTER XIX. Jesus leaves Galilee, and comes into the coasts of Judea, and is followed by great multitudes, whom he heals, 1, 2.

Matthew 3:10 — Versículo Mateo 3:10 . Y ahora también el hacha está puesta.  O, Aun ahora el hacha está puesta . Como si hubiera dicho, No hay un momento que perder - Dios está a punto de exterminar a toda alma impenitente - por lo tanto, debes volverte a Dios de inmediato , o ser

Matthew 9:2 — maxim among the Jews that no diseased person could be healed till all his sins were blotted out. See Nedarim, fol. 41. Hence our Lord first forgives the sins, and then heals the body of the paralytic person. This appears to have been founded on Psalms 103:3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, and healeth all thy diseases. Here pardon precedes health. See also Psalms 41:3-4. It may be observed, also, that most people are more in earnest about their souls when in sickness than in health, and therefore

Luke 2:14 — 1:12, and they desire it because they feel they are thus interested in it. The incarnation of Jesus Christ is an infinite and eternal benefit. Heaven and earth both partake of the fruits of it, and through it angels and men become one family, Ephesians 3:15.Peace, good will toward men. — Men are in a state of hostility with Heaven and with each other. The carnal mind is enmity against God. He who sins wars against his Maker; and"Foe to God was ne'er true friend to man."When men become reconciled

John 4:5 — Great. It was about ten miles from Shiloh, forty from Jerusalem, and fifty-two from Jericho. It probably got the name of Sychar, which signifies drunken, from the drunkenness of its inhabitants. With this crime the Prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 28:1, Isaiah 28:3, Isaiah 28:7-8) solemnly charges the Ephraimites, within whose limits the city stood. This place is remarkable in the Scriptures:1. As being that where Abram first stopped on his coming from Haran to Canaan.2. Where God first appeared to that patriarch,

Acts 3:19 — Verse Acts 3:19. Repent ye therefore — Now that ye are convinced that this was the Messiah, let your minds be changed, and your hearts become contrite for the sins you have committed.And be converted — επιστρεψατε, Turn to God through this Christ, deeply

Romans 12:3 — Verse Romans 12:3. Through the grace given unto me — By the grace given St. Paul most certainly means his apostolical office, by which he had the authority, not only to preach the Gospel, but also to rule the Church of Christ. This is the meaning of the word, η

1 Timothy 1:18 — Verse 18. This charge — See the note on 1 Timothy 1:5. It was a charge that the Judaizing teachers should not teach differently from that doctrine which the apostle had delivered to him. See 1 Timothy 1:3.According to the prophecies — This may refer to some predictions by inspired men, relative to what Timothy should be: and he wishes him to act in all things conformably to those predictions. It was predicted that he should have this high and noble

1 Peter 1:5 — correspondence between the two verbs used in this sentence: the verb τηρεω, signifies to keep, watch, guard; and τηρησις, is a place of custody or prison. And φρουρεω, from φρουρος, a sentinel, signifies to keep as under a military guard. See on Galatians 3:22; Galatians 3:23. The true disciples of Christ are under the continual watchful care of God, and the inheritance is guarded for them. In some countries military posts are constantly kept on the confines, in order to prevent irruptions from a neighbouring
