Bible Commentaries

Job 2:12 — mutable and miserable condition ( Aut sumus, aut fuimus, aut possumus esse quod hic est either we are, or will be or are able to be because this is), and have the same thoughts as the psalmist afterwards had, Man, being in honour, abideth not, Psalms 45:1-2 ; he is like the beasts that perish, pecoribus morticinis, dead hearts, saith Tremellius, the beasts that die of the murrain, and so become carrion, and are good for nothing. Job was now no otherwise to be seen than as a stinking carcase full of sores,

Job 9:4 — then should turn him out of the track of justice? Let God be just and true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome (or be clear) when thou judgest, or when thou art judged, Psalms 51:4 Romans 3:4 ; for at the same time that God doth judge, or execute judgment upon any, he may also be said to be judged; whilst men pass their censures, either as applauding or disliking his judgments; and then may he be said to overcome, when judged,

Job 9:4 — para ejecutar; Entonces, ¿qué debería apartarlo del camino de la justicia? Sea Dios justo y veraz, pero todo hombre mentiroso; como está escrito: Para ser justificado en tus dichos, y vencer (o ser claro) cuando juzgues, o cuando seas juzgado, Sal 51: 4 Romanos 3:4 ; porque al mismo tiempo que Dios juzga o ejecuta juicio sobre alguien, también se puede decir que es juzgado; mientras los hombres pasan sus censuras, ya sea por aplaudir o por desagradar sus juicios; y luego puede decirse que vence,

Psalms 1:3 — , which is green all the year, saith Pliny; that in Noah’s flood kept its greenness though it had been so long time under the water; and is, therefore, made an emblem of the resurrection. Others will have it to be the palm tree, from Psalms 92:12 , which likewise is always green, and very fruitful. Plutarch saith that the Babylonians make three hundred and sixty commodities of it. The tree whereon the cocoa nuts grow in the Indies is said to be such as wherewith alone a ship may be built, and

Psalms 1:3 — Salmo 52:8 , que es verde todo el año, dice Plinio; que en el diluvio de Noé mantuvo su verdor a pesar de haber estado tanto tiempo bajo el agua; y, por tanto, se convierte en emblema de la resurrección. Otros tendrán que ser la palmera, de Salmo 92:12 , que igualmente siempre es verde, y muy fructífera. Plutarco dice que los babilonios hacen trescientas sesenta mercancías de él. Se dice que el árbol en el que crecen las nueces de cacao en las Indias es el único con el que se puede construir un barco

Psalms 19:1 — Salmo 19:1 «Al Músico principal, Salmo de David. »Los cielos cuentan la gloria de Dios; y el firmamento muestra la obra de sus manos. Los cielos declaran la gloria de Dios ] El mundo, saitb Clemente de Alejandría, es Dei Scriptura, la primera Biblia que Dios

Song of Solomon 2:15 — Tómanos las zorras, las zorras pequeñas que estropean las viñas: porque nuestras viñas tienen uvas tiernas. Ver. 15. Tómanos a los zorros, los pequeños zorros, ] es decir, los herejes y cismáticos. Porque como los cachorros de zorro serán zorros algún día, y de poco se harán grandes; de modo que los cismáticos, si no se toman a tiempo, se convertirán en herejes.

Song of Solomon 3:9 — de Jerusalén. Primero, el mismo Salomón lo hizo, aunque era un rey. Stupenda sane dignatio, una maravillosa condescendencia. La Iglesia es la propia "hechura" de Cristo, su "factura artificial" o criatura (como la palabra griega significa Efesios 2:10 , ποιημα), esa obra maestra de su arquitectura, en la que ha demostrado una habilidad singular, al erigir esa gloriosa tela. del nuevo hombre, ese "cielo nuevo y tierra nueva en los que mora la justicia". "2Pe 3:13 Porque" él planta los cielos y pone

Hosea 13:6 — they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. According to their pasture so were they filled — Saturity bred security; fulness, forgetfulness. This was a foul fault, and is much complained of, Deuteronomy 32:13-14 Psalms 78:10-11 . God had brought them out of a place of great drought into large and fat pastures, a land flowing with milk and honey, where he filled their "hearts with food and gladness," Acts 14:17 , where he fed them among the lilies,

Hosea 2:1 — Decid a vuestros hermanos, Ammi; ya tus hermanas, Ruhamah. Ver. 1. Di a tus hermanos: Ammi ] Además de la predicación pública de esta misericordiosa promesa, Oseas 1:10 , "Allí se les dirá", etc., aquí se les acusa de que este sea el tema de su discurso más privado. también: y que los que temen al Señor se hablen

Hosea 5:3 — et illud ex Scriptura probent, saith Tarnovius, let them prove what they say by Scripture, and we will say with them: till then we take them for synonyms ( Repetitione etiam auget populi rebellionem. Rivet ). A hypocritical nation they were, Isaiah 9:17 , and atheistically they thought, by hiding God from themselves, to hide themselves from God. Hear them else, Hosea 12:8 , "And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity

Joel 1:2 — to hear serious discourses (Aristotle excludeth young men from his ethic lectures, because raw and rash: green wood is ever shrinking and warping), so ye are more experienced; and yet not so wise, but that, by hearing, ye may become wiser, Proverbs 1:5 . Solon said, he could never be too old to learn, γηρασκω αιει πολλα διδασκομενος

Amos 1:1 — Israel, two years before the earthquake. The words of Amos — Not of that Amos who was father to Isaiah (as some ancients, for want of Hebrew, mistook it), but a man of meaner rank; "rude in speech, but not in knowledge," 2 Corinthians 11:6 , tam sensuum nomine quam simplicitate verborum clarus, as Jerome saith of Didymus. The Jews surname him ψελλος , the stammerer; as if he had been a man, not only of a low, but of a letsome language; one that

Amos 5:1 — Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even] a lamentation, O house of Israel. Hear ye this word — A new sermon, as appeareth by this new O yes; not unlike that of St Paul, Acts 13:16 , "Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience": or rather, that of Diogenes, who cried out at Athens, Aκουσατε ανδρες , Hear, O ye men. And when as

Amos 8:7 — will never forget any of their works. The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob — i.e. by himself, the matter of Jacob’s chief boasting, there being no God like unto their God (their enemies themselves being judges, Deuteronomy 32:31 ), neither any nation so great as to have God so nigh unto them as Israel had, in all things that they called upon him for, Deuteronomy 4:7 . So that this oath of God grates upon their ingratitude for such imparallel privileges, and it is uttered in

Haggai 2:10 — saying, In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius — This diligence of the prophets in noting and noticing the precise time of God’s hand upon them, should teach us to do the like. See Trapp on " Haggai 1:1 " The churches in Switzerland kept that day yearly as a holiday whereon the Reformation began among them (Scultet. Annal). Bugenhagius kept a feast every year on that day of the month wherein he and some other divines had finished the Dutch Bible,

Matthew 5:15 — of God (that is, the doctrine of grace) that bringeth salvation hath appeared, or shone forth, as a candle on a candlestick; or as a beacon on a hill, teaching us to deny ungodliness, … ( επεφανη ), Titus 2:11-12 . Dicuntur εποφαινεσθαι quae repente conspectaculos omnium in se convertunt. (Chrysost. in 2 Tim.) The priest’s lips must not only preserve knowledge, but also present it

Matthew 5:15 — Tampoco se enciende una vela y se pone debajo de un celemín, sino sobre un candelero; y alumbra a todos los que están en la casa. Ver. 15. Tampoco los hombres encienden una vela para ponerla debajo de un celemín, etc. ] Ni Dios pone un ministro, y enciende un eslabón o una antorcha, como la palabra λυχνος aquí significa, entre un pueblo, sino por el desuso de la luz del conocimiento

Matthew 5:9 — Samson’s foxes, or Solomon’s fool, carry about and cast abroad firebrands, as if the world were made of nothing but discords, as Democritus imagined. But as St. John speaks in another case, these are "not of the Father, but of the world," 1 John 2:16 . He maketh great reckoning of a meek and quiet mind, 1 Peter 3:4 , because it is like to his own mind, which is never stirred nor moved, but remaineth still the same to all eternity. He loves those that keep the staff of binders unbroken,

Matthew 5:9 — y, como los zorros de Sansón, o el necio de Salomón, llevan y arrojan tizones, como si el mundo no estuviera hecho de nada más que discordias, como imaginó Demócrito. Pero como habla San Juan en otro caso, estos "no son del Padre, sino del mundo", 1 Juan 2:16 . Él hace un gran cálculo de una mente mansa y tranquila, 1 Pedro 3:4 , porque es como su propia mente, que nunca se conmueve ni se mueve, sino que permanece igual por toda la eternidad. Ama a los que mantienen intacta la vara de carpetas,
