We have heard of the pride

Genesis 2:18 — as himself, of the same form for perfection of nature, and for gifts inward and outward; one in whom he may see himself, and that may be to him as an alter-ego , a second self. Ephesians 5:28 Such a one as may be a help to him - both for this life, (1.) by continual society and cohabitation; (2.) for procreation and education of children; - and for the life to come, (1.) as a remedy against sin; 1 Corinthians 7:2 (2.) as a companion in God’s service. 1 Peter 3:7 Nazianzen ου

Psalms 141:5 — be] in their calamities. Let the righteous smite me, … — In case I do offend in word or deed, let me never want a faithful reprover, who may smite me as with a hammer (so the word signifieth), reprove me sharply, Proverbs 23:35 Zechariah 13:5 Titus 1:13 , cuttingly, as the apostle’s word importeth, yet mildly and lovingly, Galatians 6:1 Proverbs 9:8 ; Proverbs 19:25 ; Proverbs 25:12 , with soft words, but hard arguments, αποτομως . It

Psalms 24:1 — in the temple on that day), which is now the Christian sabbath, in memory of Christ’s resurrection and rule over all, which is here celebrated. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof — He alone is the true proprietary, Job 41:11 Deuteronomy 10:14 , and the earth is Marsupium Domini, as one saith, the Lord’s great purse; the keeping whereof he hath committed to the sons of men, Psalms 115:16 ; like as also he hath given the heavenly bodies to all peoples, Deuteronomy

Psalms 24:1 — Salmo 24:1 «Salmo de David. »De Jehová [es] la tierra y su plenitud; el mundo y los que en él habitan. Salmo de David ] La adición griega, del primer día de la semana (porque se acostumbra a cantar en el templo en ese día), que ahora es el sábado cristiano, en

Psalms 24:4 — his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He that hath clean hands — The clean in hands, that is, of innocent and unblamable conversation; debet esse purus corde, ore, opere, saith Kimchi; he must not touch that unclean thing, 2 Corinthians 6:17 . Non magna munera, sed immunis manus mensque sincera Deo placent. Men must lift up pure hands in prayer, 1 Timothy 2:8 , or else their incense will stink of the hand that offereth it, Isaiah 1:13 . Immunis aram si tetigit manus (Horat.). Those that

Psalms 7:1 — laughs at them, as the wild ass doth at the horse and his rider. Concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite — Which some take to be some cousin and courtier of Saul’s, who had falsely accused good David (far from any such thought, Psalms 131:1 ) of affecting the kingdom, and seeking Saul’s life. See 1 Samuel 24:10 . But I rather understand, with the Chaldee paraphrast, Saul’s self, who was of Kish, and of Jemini, 1 Samuel 9:1 , and that, by a disguise of name, he is called

Ecclesiastes 3:5 — endow his two colleges at Oxford and Ipswich. Acts and Mon. Elapidation is a piece of the Church’s happiness. Isaiah 5:2 And a time to gather stones together. — As in building forts, castles, colleges, bridges, causeys, such as was that in 1 Chronicles 26:16 ; 1 Chronicles 26:18 1 Kings 10:5 2 Chronicles 9:11 ; 2 Chronicles 16:6 . A time to embrace. — With honest conjugal embracements (as the Chaldee paraphrast interprets it), not with those libidinous embracings of the bosom of a

Ecclesiastes 4:8 — succeed him, nor brother to share with him, and yet "there is no end of all his labour"; he takes incessant pains and works like a horse, "neither is his eye satisfied with riches"; that lust of the eye - as St John calls covetousness 1 John 2:16 - is as a bottomless gulf, as an unquenchable fire, as leviathan that wanteth room in the main ocean, or as behemoth, that "trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth." Job 40:23 Neither saith he, For whom do I labour and

Song of Solomon 7:1 — ¡Cuán hermosos son tus pies con zapatos, oh hija del príncipe! Las articulaciones de tus muslos son como joyas, Obra de manos de hábil artífice. Ver. 1. Cuán hermosos son tus pies con zapatos, etc. ] Antes la había descrito de pies a cabeza; ahora de nuevo, de pies a cabeza, abarcando diez partes de su cónyuge, de quien, tal era su amor, pensó que nunca podría decir lo suficiente. Empieza por la parte

Isaiah 57:4 — — You that are the wits, the merry Greeks of the times, that, instead of "trembling at God’s word," and humbling before him, hold it a goodly thing to gibe and jeer at it, to mock and scoff at those that preach it. 2 Chronicles 36:16 Isaiah 5:18-19 ; Isaiah 22:13 ; Isaiah 28:14 ; Isaiah 28:22 These were their game stocks, and the matter of their mad mirth. Neither is it any otherwise to this day; for the world ever was, and will be still, beside itself in point of salvation. Mundus

Ezekiel 37:15 — Vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo: Ver. 15. Y la palabra del Señor. ] Ver Ezequiel 18:1 .

Hosea 1:1 — Palabra de Jehová que vino a Oseas hijo de Beeri, en días de Uzías, Jotam, Acaz y Ezequías, reyes de Judá, y en días de Jeroboam hijo de Joás, rey de Israel. Ver. 1. La palabra del Señor ] No "fábulas ingeniosamente inventadas", 2 Pedro 1:16 , o testimonios humanos, que sólo pueden hacer una fe humana; sino la "palabra del Dios 1 Tesalonicenses 2:13 ", 1 Tesalonicenses 2:13 , la "Escritura Juan 10:35 ", Juan

Hosea 2:20 — la cual estamos unidos a Cristo; y para ello instan a las próximas palabras como exposición de éstas. "Y conocerán al Señor": alegando algunos otros textos de la Escritura en los que el conocimiento salvador se pone para justificar la fe, como Isa 53:11 Jeremias 31:33 Jn 17: 3. La Septuaginta también lo traduce επιγνωση. Ahora επιγνωσις en el Nuevo Testamento se usa a menudo para salvar y aumentar la fe, 1 Crónicas 2:1 ; Colosenses 3:10 , que de hecho es el vínculo del matrimonio espiritual, y no

Hosea 8:2 — hacerlo, aunque no me deleito en ello. La hipocresía es imprudente, como Oseas 5: 6 Jeremias 3:4,5 . No, no, pero lo hará a pesar de Dios con aparente honor; y obsequiarle con una devoción ridícula. Israel, aunque rebelde y degenerado en Jezreel, Oseas 1:4 , gritará, sí, gritará, vociferabuntur, gritará hasta quedarse ronco, como hacen los pregoneros; ya mí, pero no de corazón, Oseas 7:14 . No es más que clamor sine fide fatuus, un anillo vacío, que Dios no mira. Porque, "no todo el que le dice: Señor,

Micah 7:9 — contra él, hasta que defienda mi causa y haga mi juicio; me sacará a la luz, y veré su justicia. Ver. 9. Sobrellevaré la indignación del Señor, porque he pecado contra él ] La Iglesia había pecado, y Dios estaba enojado con ella. Entonces Isaías 57:17 1:12 Isaías 57:17 . ¿Qué quieren decir, entonces, los antinomianos para decirnos que Dios nunca se enoja con su pueblo por sus prácticas repugnantes y abominables? no, no con una ira paternal? ni los castiga por lo mismo; no, ¿no tanto como con un

Zephaniah 2:2 — timeously taken, ye are like to pay, not the debt only, but charges and damages. Look to it quickly "before the decree," … Here are three cautionary "befores," as there are four comfortable "yets" to be read Zechariah 1:17 . God yet offers them mercy, as Alexander did those he warred against, while the lamp burned; and as Tamerlane, while the white flag was hung out. See Jeremiah 18:7-8 . Before the day pass as the chaff — Before that day of the Lord that is

Zephaniah 2:2 — hacia; y si el curso no se toma a tiempo, está dispuesto a pagar, no sólo la deuda, sino los cargos y los daños. Mírelo rápidamente "antes del decreto", etc. Aquí hay tres "antes" de advertencia, ya que hay cuatro cómodos "yets" para leer Zacarías 1:17 . Dios, sin embargo, les ofrece misericordia, como hizo Alejandro a aquellos contra los que combatió, mientras la lámpara ardía; y como Tamerlán, mientras se colgaba la bandera blanca. Ver Jeremias 18:7,8 . Antes que pase el día como paja ] Antes

Zechariah 1:5 — down to the congregation of all living? Job 30:23 . Every man should die the same day as he is born; as being born a child of death; the wages of sin is death, and this wages should be paid him down presently. But Christ begs their lives for a season, 1 Timothy 4:10 ; he is the Saviour of all men, not of eternal preservation, but of temporal reservation. But what a sad thing is it for men to die in their sins, as these in the text and their nephews did, John 8:21 ; John 8:24 . How may such men, on

Zechariah 14:1 — He aquí, el día de Jehová viene, y tu despojo será repartido en medio de ti. Ver. 1. He aquí, el día del Señor viene ] Jerusalén tuvo su día, y no lo supo, Lucas 19:42 (Jerusalén no era Jerusalén, la visión de paz no vio las cosas que pertenecían a su paz); Dios, por tanto, tendrá su día de venganza, como ella tuvo de visitación.
