Y Jacob se quedó solo. ] A propósito, para la oración secreta: así la Iglesia la mete en "las hendiduras de las rocas"; Hijo 2:14 Isaac, al campo; Daniel, al lado del río; Cristo, al monte; Peter, hasta el tejado o la azotea de la casa; para que derramen

Amos 4:7 — retenido la lluvia, etc. ] Y así os he castigado con sed y sequía, así como con escasez y hambre; y porque os encontré pozos sin el agua de la piedad, 2 Pedro 2:17 , por tanto, me negué a llover sobre vosotros, como había amenazado. , Deuteronomio 28:23,24 . " En quia iam vobis sunt ferrea pectora, reddit Coelum etiam vobis durius aere, Deus. " Cuando aún quedaban tres meses, etc. ] Cuando más podría desearlo Ver a Trapp en " Joe 2:23 " para el riego de la semilla y la apertura de la tierra. E hice llover

Zephaniah 3:9 — idioma de Canaán; no la lengua hebrea (como R. Abraham siente este texto) que todas las naciones hablarán, dice él, en el reino de Cristo (lo que hacen en el cielo, no tengo que decirlo, algunos están confiados), sino palabras de gracia, Colosenses 4:6 , palabras de verdad. y sobriedad, Hechos 26:25 , palabras correctas, Job 6:25 , discursos espirituales, Efesios 4:29 , lenguaje de las Escrituras, 1 Pedro 4:11 . Para que invoquen el nombre del Señor ] Como todo el pueblo de Dios lo hace, es

Zechariah 10:8 — creatures at his beck and call, can easily bring back his banished, gather together his dispersed with a turn of a hand, Zechariah 13:7 , with a blast of his mouth, as here; as if any offer to oppose him herein, he can blow them to destruction, Job 4:9 . He can frown them to death, Psalms 80:16 . He can crush them between his fingers, as men do a moth, Psalms 39:11 , and crumble them to crattle, Psalms 146:4 "Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall

Zechariah 3:3 — la palabra hebrea aquí significa, y como lo muestra nuestro Salvador, Mar 7:20), o que los sanos de la plaga lastiman un vestido. De ahí el de la Iglesia, "Todos somos como cosa inmunda, y todas nuestras justicias como trapos de inmundicia", Isaías 64:6 . Y el de Job, "Si me lavo con agua de nieve y nunca dejo mis manos tan limpias, me sumergirás en el hoyo, y mis propias ropas me harán aborrecible", Job 9:30,31 . Esto es lo mismo en efecto con el de Pablo: "No sé nada por mí mismo, pero por esto

Zechariah 8:17 — LORD. And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts — See Trapp on " Zechariah 7:10 " Take notice here, that as conversing with evil imaginations and inward lusts proves one to be carnal, Ephesians 2:3 , so the law is spiritual, Romans 7:14 , and takes hold of the root of bitterness, Deuteronomy 29:18 , lie it never so low and close covered. There is something in it, that men are here forbidden to imagine evil (in their hearts). This particle, in their hearts, may seem superfluous; but

Zechariah 8:17 — ninguno de ustedes imagine el mal en su corazón ] Ver Trapp en " Zacarías 7:10 " Fíjense aquí, que como conversar con imaginaciones malvadas y concupiscencias internas demuestra que uno es carnal, Efesios 2:3 , entonces la ley es espiritual, Romanos 7:14 , y se aferra a la raíz de la amargura, Deuteronomio 29:18 , no la mientas nunca tan bajo y encubierto. Hay algo en ello, que a los hombres se les prohíbe imaginar el mal (en sus corazones). Esta partícula, en sus corazones, puede parecer superflua;

Zechariah 9:9 — todos los males y enemigos; pero generalmente también se toma por la parte positiva, a saber. fruto de todo bien; porque es más fácil distinguir de qué que a qué somos salvados por Jehová nuestra justicia. Pobre ] O pobre, afligido, abyecto. Filipenses 4:12 juntos, Filipenses 4:12 3:12 Filipenses 4:12 . He aprendido a querer y a ser humillado. La pobreza vuelve al hombre despreciable y ridículo. Pauper ubique iacet, los hombres pasan por encima del seto donde está más bajo; los pobres son pisoteados

Matthew 3:2 — øàù χολη ), must cast it up again as soon as he can, ere it got to the vitals. Repentance is the soul’s vomit, which is the hardest kind of physic, but the wholesomest. Happy is he that by the dung gate of Nehemiah 3:14 his mouth (in a sorrowful confession) can disburden himself of the sin that both clogs and hazards his soul to death eternal. We ran from God by sin to death, and have no other way to return but by death to sin, Hebrews 12:1 . For the kingdom of heaven

Acts 18:10 — For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. For I am with thee — As to behold thy behaviour ( Cave, spectat Deus ), so to support, defend, and deliver thee. If a child be in the dark, yet, having his father by the hand, he fears nothing. David feared not the "vale of the shadow of death," that is, death in its most horrid and hideous representations, and all because God was with him, Psalms 23:4 .

Romans 3:23 — For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; All have sinned — The first man defiled the nature, and ever since the nature defileth the man. Adam was a parent, a public person, a parliament man, as it were; the whole country of mankind was in him, and fell with him. Short of the glory of God — i.e. Of his image now obliterated, or of his kingdom, upon the golden pavement whereof no dirty dog must ever trample. It is an inheritance undefiled, 1 Peter 1:4 .

2 Corinthians 3:9 — For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. Exceed in glory — A throne was set in heaven, Revelation 4:2 ; not in the mount, as Exodus 25:9 . The pattern of our Church is showed in the heavens themselves, because of that more abundant glory of the gospel above the law. And therefore also John describeth the city far greater and larger than Ezekiel, Revelation

2 Corinthians 9:4 — Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: 4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. In this same confident boasting — Gr. "in this confidence of glorying." A metaphor from.

Philippians 1:10 — Epistle to the Ephesians, maketh mention of Onesimus, as pastor of Ephesus, next after Timothy. The Roman Martyrologue saith, that he was stoned to death at Rome, under Trajan the emperor. Paul calleth him his son because his convert. See 1 Corinthians 4:15 ; so Cyprian calleth Caecilius (who converted him) novae vitae parentem, the instrument of his life; and Latimer saith the like of his blessed St Bilney, as he calleth him.

Philippians 4:17 — Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. Not because I desire a gift — As those cormorants that "with shame do love, Give ye," Hosea 4:18 , as if they could speak no other but the Doric dialect, the horse leech’s language. St Paul was none of these. That may abound to your account — For God keeps an exact account of every penny laid out upon him and his, that he may require it; and his retributions are more than bountiful.

2 Thessalonians 2:12 — damned — Heresy is the leprosy in the head, Leviticus 13:29 , which is utterly incurable, and destroys the soul. See Revelation 19:21 . Had pleasure in unrighteousness — These are delivered up to that dead and dedolent disposition, Ephesians 4:19 , losing at length all passive power also of awakening out of the snare of the devil, who taketh them alive at his pleasure, 2 Timothy 2:26 .

Hebrews 7:4 — Now consider how great this man was , unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. How great this man was — It is goodness that renders a man great, and the grace of God that ennobleth, Isaiah 43:4 ; Hebrews 11:2 . Keep close to God, and then ye shall be some of God’s Rabbis, as Daniel calls them, Daniel 9:27 . See Job 32:9 . Great men indeed, not with a belline (war-like), but with a genuine, greatness. The tenth of the spoils —

Hebrews 9:12 — having obtained eternal redemption for us . Neither by the blood of calves — As the Levitical high priest did, Hebrews 9:7 . Having obtained — Gr. ευρομενος , having found. See Romans 4:1 . The Latins also use invenire or acquirere, to find, for to obtain. See also Matthew 16:25 . Christ overcame by suffering, and by his own blood purchased his Church, as an Aceldama, or field of blood.

1 John 3:16 — Hereby perceive we the love of God , because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Because he laid down — See Trapp on " John 15:13 " See Trapp on " Romans 5:8 " We ought also to lay down our lives — If Pylades can offer to die for Orestes merely for a name, or out of carnal affection at the best; should not Christians lay down their own necks one for another, as Aquila and Priscilla did for Paul? Romans 16:4 .

Revelation 3:5 — He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Clothed in white — See Trapp on " Revelation 3:4 " The book of life — Wherein the just that live by faith are written. But I will confess his name — His well-tried faith shall be found to praise, honour, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 1:7 . See Trapp on "
