Bible Commentaries

Genesis 14:13 — there came one that had escaped. — A Sodomite likely, but a servant to God’s good providence, for Lot’s rescue. "The Lord knoweth how to deliver his," … 2 Peter 2:9 He that "led captivity captive," Ephesians 4:8 can "turn our captivity as the streams in the south". Psalms 126:4

Nehemiah 13:3 — are worse than these Jews; and it may be feared that the Lord hath a purpose to destroy them. "The law of the Lord," when but read only, "is perfect, converting the soul," Psalms 19:7 , but woe to the irreformable, 2 Corinthians 4:4 . That they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude — Vulgus promiscuum, the rabble of strangers, wherewith this people were haunted and pestered from the very first, Exodus 12:38 Numbers 11:4 . These, moved with miracles, removed with

Nehemiah 13:3 — arrepienten al oír la palabra, son peores que estos judíos; y se teme que el Señor tenga el propósito de destruirlos. "La ley del Señor", cuando sólo se lee, "es perfecta, que convierte el alma", Salmo 19:7 , pero ay de los irreformables, 2 Corintios 4:4 . Que separaron de Israel a toda la multitud mixta ] Vulgus promiscuum, la chusma de extraños, con la cual este pueblo fue perseguido y acosado desde el principio, Éxodo 12:38 Números 11:4 . Estos, movidos con milagros, los sacaron con ellos de

Job 9:15 — would I not answer — viz. By pleading mine own righteousness, since no created righteousness can answer God. Some render it, non attollam vocem, ne hiscere quidem audebo, I will not lift up my voice, nor dare to mute against him. see 1 Corinthians 4:4 No, though I were never so innocent, and did suffer this misery undeservedly. But I would make supplication to my judge — As he doth, though it were a good while first, in the end of the next chapter. It is likely that he intended to do it sooner,

Psalms 113:9 — He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. He maketh the barren woman to keep house — Heb. to dwell in a house, that is, to have a house full of children, and so to build her husband’s house, Ruth 4:11 . This is applied to the Church (which is the theatre of the world, wherein God showeth his special providence and power), Isaiah 54:1 Galatians 4:26-27 .

Psalms 119:155 — Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. Salvation is far from the wicked — How can it be otherwise? when as God is neither in their heads, Psalms 10:4 , nor hearts, Psalms 14:1 , nor words, Psalms 12:4 , nor ways, Titus 1:16 , can these have part or portion in his salvation? For they seek not — This contempt of God’s word is a plain proof that no part or piece of God’s favour belongeth to them.

Psalms 47:5 — God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. God is gone up with a shout — The ark is here called God, as also Psalms 132:5 , and the face of God, Psalms 105:4 ; because from the ark, in the midst of the cherubims, God spake to his people, and they by looking towards it had a sure symbol of the divine presence. The bringing of it up with pomp and solemnity into Mount Sion was a type of Christ’s wonderful

Psalms 86:9 — Todas las naciones que has hecho vendrán y adorarán delante de ti, oh Señor; y glorificará tu nombre. Ver. 9. Todas las naciones que has creado vendrán, etc. ] Sería conveniente que lo Apocalipsis 4:11 , Apocalipsis 4:11 ; es de esperar que así sea, Isaías 11:10 ; Isaías 43:9 ; no por cambio de lugar, sino de corazón, renunciando a sus irreligiones y rindiendo a Cristo la obediencia de la fe. Algunos entienden este texto de esa asamblea general en el último día.

Proverbs 1:5 — should die with better cheer if he might die learning something. " Si moribundus etiam aliquid didicisset. " - Melch. Adam. And will increase learning. — "Take heed what you hear: unto you that hear shall more be given." Mark 4:24 See Trapp on " Mark 4:24 " Only ponder and apply what you hear. For they that do otherwise are like the wolf, who never attain to any more divine learning than to spell Pater ; father , but when they should come to put together, and to

Proverbs 1:5 — agonizaba, se enderezó para escuchar los discursos de sus amigos que estaban sentados a su lado, y dijo que debería morir con mejor ánimo si podía morir aprendiendo algo. a Y aumentará el aprendizaje.] "Mirad lo que oís: a vosotros que oís, se les dará más". 4:24 de marzo Vea Trapp en " 4:24 de marzo ". Sólo reflexione y aplique lo que oye. Porque los que hacen lo contrario son como el lobo, que nunca logran más conocimiento divino que deletrear Pater ; padre , pero cuando deben reunirse y aplicarlo a sus

Leviticus 6:9 — Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This [is] the law of the burnt offering: It [is] the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. All night unto the morning. — God must be thought upon in the night season. Psalms 4:4 David willingly brake his sleep to do it. Psalms 119:62 "The day is thine, the night also is thine," saith he. Psalms 74:16

Ecclesiastes 4:6 — toil and tire out himself with hard labour to compass commodity - making a drudge and a beast of himself for a little pelf, since he knows not who shall have the spending of it, and he is sure to be either squeezed by his superiors, as Ecclesiastes 4:1 or else envied by his neighbours? as Ecclesiastes 4:4 Is not a little with ease better? a penny by begging better than twopence by true labour? It is well observed by an interpreter, that this sentence uttered by the sluggard, is, in its true meaning,

Ecclesiastes 4:6 — un hombre esforzarse y cansarse con trabajo duro para alcanzar la mercancía, convirtiéndose en un esclavo y una bestia de sí mismo por un poco de pelf, ya que no sabe quién se hará cargo de él, y está ¿Seguro que sus superiores lo exprimen, como Ecc 4: 1 o lo envidian sus vecinos? comoEc 4: 4 ¿No es un poco mejor con facilidad? ¿Un centavo pidiendo limosna mejor que dos peniques con verdadero trabajo? Un intérprete ha observado bien que esta oración pronunciada por el perezoso no es, en su verdadero

Daniel 6:4 — Entonces los presidentes y príncipes buscaron ocasión contra Daniel en relación con el reino; pero no encontraron ocasión ni falta; por cuanto era fiel, no se halló en él error ni falta. Ver. 4. Entonces los presidentes y príncipes buscaron. ] Chald., Buscamos; lo hicieron su negocio. Los hombres envidiosos están siempre en excubiis, puestos en su guardia, para observar dónde pueden sujetar sus colmillos y hacer más daño. Ver Proverbios 27:4

Deuteronomy 21:14 — Y sucederá que, si no te deleitas en ella, la dejarás ir a donde quiera; mas no la venderás por dinero, no harás mercadería de ella, porque la has humillado. Ver. 14. Porque la has humillado. ] Esta expresión muestra que Dios no aprobó su hecho, que sin embargo toleró. Por "humillarla" se quiere decir quitarle el honor de la castidad; su crédito ahora se había ido. El cuerpo como vaso debe ser "poseído en santificación y honor". 1 Tesalonicenses 4: 4

John 11:52 — And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. Gather together in one — In one spiritual body, though in place never so distant one from another, Ephesians 4:4 ; "My dove is but one, the daughters saw her and blessed her," Song of Solomon 6:9 . No such oneness, entireness, anywhere else. Other societies may cleave together as the toes of clay in Nebuchadnezzar’s image, but not incorporate.

John 8:46 — Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? Which of you convinceth me of sin — q.d. Have you anything against my life, that ye thus stiffly refuse to receive my doctrine? Do not (as every minister should do) vivere concionibus, concionari moribus, live sermons, as well as preach them? Paul knew nothing by himself, 1 Corinthians 4:4 . And Chrysostom saith that the souls and lives of ministers should be purer than the sunbeams.

Acts 9:4 — still in him the same bowels of pity that he had here upon earth. Why persecutest thou me? — As unskilful hunters, shooting at wild beasts, may kill a man? so those that shoot at the saints, hit Christ. Their sufferings are held his, Colossians 1:24 ; their reproach his, Hebrews 13:13 . God is more provoked than Nehemiah,Nehemiah 4:3; Nehemiah 4:3 ; Nehemiah 4:5 . Christ retaineth still compassion, though freed from personal passion; and, though freed from feeling, he hath still yet a fellow feeling.

Titus 2:15 — all authority. Let no man despise thee. Let no man despise thee — περιφρονειτα Nemo te plus sapere ausit. Or have occasion to think himself wiser than thee. He saith not, a1 Timothy 4:12; 1 Timothy 4:12 ; "Let no man despise thy youth," for Titus was (likely) elder than Timothy. Mr Calvin thinketh that these words are spoken to the people; they are, for the most part, of delicate ears, and cannot abide plain words of mortification.

2 Samuel 12:21 — Entonces le dijeron sus siervos: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho? ayunaste y lloraste por el niño, mientras estaba vivo; pero cuando el niño murió, te levantaste y comiste pan. Ver. 21. ¿Qué es esto que has hecho? ] ¿ Quam absurda et insolens? Los santos son "señales y prodigios en Israel"; Isa 8:18 sus raciones también - porque mantienen una noción constante en contra de las costumbres corruptas de los demás - parecen extrañas e irrazonables, 1 Ped 4: 4 aunque no es necesario.
