Job 15:1-35 — CAPITULO 15 EL SEGUNDO DISCURSO DE ELIFAZ. el sabio—que Job pretende ser. vana sabiduría—el hebreo: conocimiento ventoso; lit., “de viento” (8:2). En Eclesiastés 1:14, el hebreo, cazar el viento, expresa el ansia por lo vano. viento solano—Más fuerte que el “viento”

Psalms 40:1-17 — salmo una celebración de la liberación de Dios es seguida por la profesión de la devoción a su servicio. Luego sigue la petición de alivio de los peligros inminentes, que envuelve la derrota de enemigos y el regocijo de amigos compasivos. En Hebreos 10:5, etc., Pablo cita los vv. 6-8 como palabras de Cristo, quien se ofrecía como sacrificio mejor. Algunos opinan que Pablo acomodó las palabras de David para expreser los sentimientos de Cristo. Pero el valor de la cita así sería destruido, pues no tendría

Ecclesiastes 9:1-18 — las personas más viles ( 1 Samuel 24:14). León—de los animales, el más noble ( Proverbios 30:30). mejor—cuanto a la esperanza de la salvación; los más nobles si mueren inconversos, no tienen esperanza; los más viles mientras viven, tienen esperanza. 5. saben que han de morir—y por tanto pueden ser inducidos “a contar sus días de tal modo que traigan al corazón sabiduría” (cap. 7:1-4; Salmo 90:12). muertos nada saben—eso es, en cuanto concierne a los sentidos corporales y asuntos mundanos ( Job 14:21;

Isaiah 30:1-33 — LOS CAPITULOS 30-32, ES PROBABLE QUE SE REFIERAN AL VERANO DE 714 A. de C., ASI COMO EL 29 SE REFIERE A LA PASCUA DE AQUEL AÑO. Los embajadores judíos se hallan en viaje a Egipto para solicitar ayuda contra la Asiria (cap. 30:2-6, 15; 31:1). Isaías denuncia esta confianza puesta en Egipto más bien que en Jehová. Dios había prohibido alianzas como ésta con naciones paganas, pues era un punto de vital importancia en la política judía el que fuesen un pueblo apartado ( Éxodo 32:32;

Isaiah 66:1-24 — edificando?; ¿qué lugar es éste para mi reposo?” [Vitringa] 2. fueron—es decir, hechas por mí. O: absolutamente, fueron las cosas hechas y por lo tanto me pertenecen a mí, que soy su Criador [Jerónimo]. miraré—tendré en consideración. es pobre—humilde (cap. 57:15). tiembla a mi palabra—( 2 Reyes 22:11, 2 Reyes 22:19; Esdras 9:4). El templo espiritual del corazón, aunque no anula el lugar exterior del culto, es la habitación predilecta de Dios ( Juan 14:23). En el estado final de los cielos no habrá “templo

Jeremiah 1:1-19 — cada uno. El primero y el último de los reyes durante cuyos reinados profetizó el profeta, están frecuentemente especificados en el título general. Véase referente a esto reyes y la vida de Jeremías mi Introducción. décimotercio de su reinado—(cap. 25:3). el mes quinto—( 2 Reyes 25:8). 4-10. Llamamiento de Jeremías al oficio profético. a mí—La Versión Reina-Valera quizás represente el verdadero texto hebreo; en otros manuscritos se lee “a él”. Pero esta inscripción es sin duda del mismo Jeremías.

Ezekiel 13:1-23 — por ejemplo Acab, Sedequías y Semaías. Hananías habría creído sus propias mentíras, pues de otra manera no habría especificado detalles tan circunstanciales (Jeremias 28:2); los malvados conscientes no daban sino seguridades generales de paz (Jeremias 5:31; Jeremias 6:14; Jeremias 14:13). El lenguaje de Ezequiel tiene plenas referencias al lenguaje similar de Jeremías (por ejemplo, Jeremias 23:9); el veneno de la profecía falsa, que tenía su plaza fuerte en Jerrusalén, se había extendido en alguna

Amos 3:2 — 2. You only have I known—that is, acknowledged as My people, and treated with peculiar favor (Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 4:20). Compare the use of "know," Psalms 1:6; Psalms 144:3; John 10:14; 2 Timothy 2:19. therefore I will punish—the greater the privileges, the heavier the punishment for the abuse of them; for to the other offenses there is added, in this case, ingratitude. When God's people do not glorify Him, He glorifies Himself by punishing them.

Zephaniah 2:6 — dug in the earth) for shepherds. Instead of a thick population and tillage, the region shall become a pasturage for nomad shepherds' flocks. The Hebrew for "dug cisterns," Ceroth, seems a play on sounds, alluding to their name Cherethites (Zephaniah 2:5): Their land shall become what their national name implies, a land of cisterns. MAURER translates, "Feasts for shepherds' (flocks)," that is, one wide pasturage.

Zephaniah 3:1-20 — decir, de los pobres, débiles, viudas, huérfanos y extranjeros (Jeremias 22:3). 2. ni recibió la disciplina—Jerusalén es incorregible, obstinadamente rechaza la admonición saludable y se niega a ser reformada por la corrección (disciplina) (Jeremias 5:3). no se confió en Jehová—La desconfianza en Dios, como si él fuera insuficiente, es la madre de todas las supersticiones e iniquidades. (Calvino.) no se acercó a su Dios—aunque Dios estaba especialmente cerca de ella ( Deuteronomio 4:7) como “Dios

Zechariah 1:21 — 21. These are the horns—rather, Those, namely, the horns being distinguished from the "carpenters," or destroying workmen ("skilful to destroy," Exodus 21:31), intended in the "these" of the question. no man . . . lift up his head—so depressed were they with a heavy weight of evils (Exodus 21:31- :). to fray—to strike terror into them (Ezekiel 30:9). lifted up . . . horn—in the haughtiness of conscious strength (Psalms 75:4; Psalms 75:5) tyrannizing over Judah (Ezekiel 34:21).

Zechariah 1:5 — 5. Your fathers . . . and the prophets, do they live for ever?—In contrast to "My words" (Zechariah 1:6), which "endure for ever" (Zechariah 1:6- :). "Your fathers have perished, as was foretold; and their fate ought to warn you. But you may say, The prophets too are dead. I grant it, but still My words do not die: though dead, their prophetical words from Me, fulfilled against your fathers, are not dead with them. Beware, then, lest ye share their fate."

Malachi 4:3 — 3. Solving the difficulty ( :-) that the wicked often now prosper. Their prosperity and the adversity of the godly shall soon be reversed. Yea, the righteous shall be the army attending Christ in His final destruction of the ungodly (2 Samuel 22:43; Psalms 49:14; Psalms 47:3; Micah 7:10; Zechariah 10:5; 1 Corinthians 6:2; Revelation 2:26; Revelation 2:27; Revelation 19:14; Revelation 19:15). ashes—after having been burnt with the fire of judgment (Revelation 19:15- :).

Matthew 13:41 — 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom—to which they never really belonged. They usurped their place and name and outward privileges; but "the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners [abide] in the congregation of the righteous" (Psalms 1:5). all things that offend—all those who have proved a stumbling-block to others and them which do iniquity—The former class, as the worst, are mentioned first.

Mark 5:34 — 34. And he said unto her, Daughter—"be of good comfort" ( :-). thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague—Though healed as soon as she believed, it seemed to her a stolen cure—she feared to acknowledge it. Jesus therefore sets His royal seal upon it. But what a glorious dismissal from the lips of Him who is "our Peace" is that, "Go in peace!" Jairus' Daughter Raised to Life (Mark 5:35-43).

Mark 6 overview — CHAPTER 6 :-. CHRIST REJECTED AT NAZARETH. ( = Matthew 13:54-58; Luke 4:16-30). See on Luke 4:16-42.4.30- :. Luke 4:16-42.4.30- :. MISSION OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES. ( = Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:5-15; Luke 9:1-6). See on Luke 9:1-42.9.6- :; Luke 9:1-42.9.6- :. Luke 9:1-42.9.6- :. HEROD THINKS JESUS A RESURRECTION OF THE MURDERED BAPTIST—ACCOUNT OF HIS DEATH. ( = Matthew 14:1-12; Luke 9:7-9). Herod's View of Christ (Luke 9:7-42.9.9- :).

Luke 5:5 — 5. Master—betokening not surely a first acquaintance, but a relationship already formed. all night—the usual time of fishing then (John 21:3), and even now Peter, as a fisherman, knew how hopeless it was to "let down his net" again, save as a mere act of faith, "at His word" of command, which carried in it, as it ever does, assurance of success. (This shows he must have been already and for some time a follower of Christ.)

1 Corinthians 1:8 — 8. Who—God, :- (not Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 1:7, in which case it would be "in His day"). unto the end—namely, "the coming of Christ." blameless in the day of . . . Christ— (1 Thessalonians 5:23). After that day there is no danger (Ephesians 4:30; Philippians 1:6). Now is our day to work, and the day of our enemies to try us: then will be the day of Christ, and of His glory in the saints [BENGEL].

2 Corinthians 12:11 — 11. in glorying—omitted in the oldest manuscripts. "I am become a fool." He sounds a retreat [BENGEL]. ye—emphatic. "It is YE who have compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you," instead of having to commend myself. am I behind—rather as Greek, "was I behind" when I was with you? the very chiefest—rather, as in 2 Corinthians 11:5, "those overmuch apostles." though I be nothing—in myself (1 Corinthians 15:9; 1 Corinthians 15:10).

Revelation 8:5 — 5. cast it into the earth—that is, unto the earth: the hot coals off the altar cast on the earth, symbolize God's fiery judgments about to descend on the Church's foes in answer to the saints' incense-perfumed prayers which have just ascended before God, and those of the martyrs. How marvellous the power of the saints' prayers! there were—"there took place," or "ensued." voices, and thunderings, and lightnings—B places the "voices" after "thunderings." A places it after "lightnings."
