Bible Commentaries

Esther 3:12 — dictated unto us, … But this was no sufficient excuse for them before God; as neither was it for Doeg, that he was commanded to slay all the Lord’s priests, which Abner and others of Saul’s servants rightly and stoutly refused to do, 1 Samuel 22:18 . A warrant once came down under seal for Lady Elizabeth’s execution, while she was prisoner at Woodstock; Stephen Gardiner, like another Haman, being the chief engineer. But Mr. Bridges, her keeper, mistrusting false play, presently

Esther 3:12 — del rey y a los gobernadores que estaban sobre cada provincia y a los gobernantes de cada pueblo. de cada provincia según su escritura, ya cada pueblo según su idioma; en el nombre del rey Asuero estaba escrito y sellado con el anillo del rey. Ver. 12. Entonces fueron llamados los escribas del rey] Luego, al poco tiempo, tan pronto como la palabra salió de la boca del rey, licet quod libet, los escribas fueron llamados, y todas las cosas fueron despachadas con toda la prisa, el arte y la industria

Job 12:11 — balances ( Ozen, oznajin ), to note that a judicious Christian taketh not up truth upon trust, but considereth first, and afterwards believeth. He trieth all things, and then holdeth fast that which is good, but abstaineth from all appearance of evil, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 . The ear and the mind are in the Greek tongue very like in sound, ους νους : the mind judgeth of the truth of words by the ears, as the beam in a pair of balances determineth the

Job 12:11 — ¿No prueba el oído las palabras? y la boca saborea su carne? Ver. 11. ¿No prueba el oído las palabras? &C. ] La mente puede concebir estas verdades tan fácilmente como el oído juzga con certeza la variedad de sonidos y la lengua la diversidad de gustos; tampoco puedes pensar que voy a permitir, sin ningún examen o distinción,

Job 33:23 — uprightness: If there be a messenger with him — An angel, say some; but one man may be an angel to another, as Bradford was to Dr Taylor, martyr, who usually called him, That angel of God, John Bradford. If some prophet or teacher sent of God see Judges 2:1 Malachi 3:1-18 : 1 Kings 1:20 to the sick man, who seeth his face as the face of an angel, and receiveth him as an angel, yea, as Christ himself, Galatians 4:14 , in whose stead he is, 2 Corinthians 5:20 , bringing the embassy of reconciliation, 2 Corinthians

Job 42:10 — Y el SEÑOR cambió el cautiverio de Job, cuando oraba por sus amigos; también el SEÑOR le dio a Job el doble de lo que tenía antes. Ver. 10. Y el Señor volvió de nuevo el cautiverio de Job ] Lo sacó de las garras de Satanás, quien hasta entonces lo había tenido prisionero, por así decirlo, en las bandas de la pobreza, la enfermedad, el dolor, el desprecio, la angustia, etc. Ya sea que

Psalms 19:1 — — The world, saitb Clement of Alexandria, is Dei Scriptura, the first Bible that God made for the institution of man. The heavens (here instanced as a chief part of that Mundi totius machina ) are compared to a scroll that is written, Revelation 6:14 . As in a horn book, which little ones carry, there be letters in a paper within which appear through the same; so, under the blue sapphire of the firmament, is spread a sheet of royal paper written all over with the wisdom and power of God. This book

Hosea 12:6 — sino a un Dios en pacto; sí, es "con tu Dios" (como lo dice el hebreo), con su buena ayuda, que te convertirás. Solo clama a él: Señor, conviértenos, y seremos convertidos, atrae y correremos tras de ti. De volverse al Señor vea la nota sobre Zacarías 1:3 . Guarden misericordia y juicio ] Esos magnalia legis, esos asuntos más importantes de la ley (como los llama nuestro Salvador, Mat 23:23) que Efraín había despreciado, Os 4: 1 Por lo tanto, es llamado a evidenciar la verdad de su cambio. a Dios,

Hosea 4:6 — might: for what nation ever had God so nigh unto them, …, and statutes and judgments so righteous, …? Deuteronomy 4:6-8 ; what nation ever had prophets and priests as they had, to teach Jacob his statutes and Israel his law? Deuteronomy 33:10 . All means of knowledge they had that might be; so that God might say to them, as once Abijam did to Jeroboam and all Israel, "Ought you not to have known this?" 2 Chronicles 13:5 ; should ye not all "know the Lord from the least to

Hosea 4:6 — porque ¿qué nación alguna vez tuvo Dios tan cerca de ellos, etc., y estatutos y juicios tan justos, etc.? Deuteronomio 4:6,8 ; ¿Qué nación tuvo profetas y sacerdotes como ellos, para enseñar a Jacob sus estatutos ya Israel su ley? Deuteronomio 33:10 . Todos los medios de conocimiento que tenían que pudieran ser; para que Dios les dijera, como una vez hizo Abiam a Jeroboam ya todo Israel: "¿No debían saber esto?" 2 Crónicas 13:5 ; ¿No deberíais todos "conocer al Señor desde el menor hasta el mayor"?

Hosea 7:8 — Ephraim is a cake not turned. Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people — viz. in confederacies, marriages, manners, superstitions. They were conformed to those nations from whom God had separated them with a wonderful separation, Exodus 33:16 , and put them up by themselves from all the world in the promised land, as it were in an island, Isaiah 20:6 . And this they had done not once, but often, as the conjugation importeth; and that wilfully, without any necessity; yea and that constantly

Hosea 9:4 — the Lord — Non libabunt, multo minus litabunt, they shall not have wherewith to offer sacrifice, when they are in their banishment, Hosea 3:4 , much less to serve God with cheerfulness, to exhilarate his heart with their wine offerings, Judges 9:13 , to cheer up themselves with the wine and olive offerings, Numbers 15:5 , which were symbols and signs of the merit and spirit of Christ (for the ceremonial law was their gospel, it was Christ in figure), and the deprivation of them threatened the

Hosea 9:4 — ofrendas de vino al Señor ] Non libabunt, multo minus litabunt, no tendrán con qué ofrecer sacrificio, cuando estén en su destierro, Oseas 3:4 , y mucho menos para servir a Dios con alegría, para regocijarse. su corazón con sus ofrendas de vino, Jueces 9:13 , para alegrarse con las ofrendas de vino y aceitunas, Números 15:5, que eran símbolos y signos del mérito y espíritu de Cristo (porque la ley ceremonial era su evangelio, era Cristo en figura), y la privación de ellos amenazaba con la privación de

Jonah 3:3 — So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. So Jonah arose and went unto Nineveh — He went not home first to bid them farewell, as Luke 9:61 , neither went he another way, as once; it was enough of that once, and he had learned obedience by the things that he had suffered. To Nineveh he goes, though a mere and a lowly stranger, unknown, unregarded, and with a harsh message; such as he might

Malachi 3:2 — soap: But who may abide the day of his coming? — The prophet Isaiah asketh "Who shall declare his generation?" Isaiah 53:8 , that is, the mystery of his incarnation (that habitatio Dei cum carne, which the magicians held impossible, Daniel 2:11 ); or the history of his birth, life, and death (as some sense it), whose tongue shall be able to speak it or pen to write it? Who can think of the day of his coming? so the Vulgate reads this text; viz. of all the glory, graces, benefits of that day?

Matthew 16:18 — Y también te digo que tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta roca edificaré mi iglesia; y las puertas del infierno no prevalecerán contra ella. Ver. 18. Tú eres Pedro ] es decir, eres una piedra viva en el templo espiritual, como dice Pedro que son todos los demás cristianos, 1 Pedro 2:5 . Y aquí Cristo le dice a Pedro por qué al principio le dio ese nombre. Sobre esta roca ] Es decir, sobre esta

Matthew 7:15 — not, then he puts off the frock of a wolf, and makes his next encounter in sheep’s clothing. Now what havoc he hath made by this means of silly souls laden with lusts, who knows not? The old Church was pestered with false prophets,Deuteronomy 13:1; Deuteronomy 13:1 ; 2 Peter 2:1 . There were false prophets among the people, and there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, and many shall follow their pernicious ways. This was Peter’s prophecy;

1 Corinthians 16:8 — But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. But I will tarry at Ephesus — From thence then he wrote this Epistle, and not at Philippi, as the subscription hath it. See 1 Corinthians 16:5 .

Galatians 3:9 — So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. Are blessed, … — For they only are blessed whose sins are remitted, Psalms 32:1 . Oh, the blessedness of that man, saith the Psalmist.

1 Timothy 2:11 — Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. Let the woman learn — Not to teach, to wit, in the public assemblies, be she never so learned or godly. See Trapp on " Romans 16:1 "
