Genesis 2:22 — que el Señor Dios había tomado. ] La materia, al principio de los tiempos, le fue quitada al hombre para hacer una mujer. Y la materia, en el cumplimiento de los tiempos, fue quitada de una mujer para hacer un hombre, incluso "el hombre Cristo Jesús". 1Ti 2: ​​5 Y como del lado del durmiente, Adán Eva fue formado; así, de la sangre que brotó del costado y la carne de Cristo moribundo, surgió su esposa, la Iglesia. Su principal cuidado allí fue "santificar y limpiar" Efesios 5:26 su Iglesia, y por

Esther 2:18 — Entonces el rey hizo un gran banquete a todos sus príncipes y siervos, el banquete de Ester; e hizo una entrega a las provincias, y dio presentes, según el estado del rey. Ver. 18. Entonces el rey hizo una gran fiesta ] Las fiestas nunca son más oportunas que en la recuperación de la costilla perdida. Ver a Trapp en " Gen 29:22 " A todos sus príncipes y sirvientes] Lo mismo hizo Mauricio, el emperador de Grecia, cuando se casó

Job 28:12 — Pero, ¿dónde se encontrará la sabiduría? ¿y dónde [está] el lugar del entendimiento? Ver. 12. Pero, ¿dónde se encontrará la sabiduría? ] Aquí está ahora la otra parte de la antítesis, y la segunda parte del capítulo, que no es tan difícil como lo fue la primera. La sabiduría es natural o espiritual, 1 Corintios 2:11,15 , terrenal o celestial,

Psalms 45:1 — Salmo 45:1 «Al Músico principal sobre Susanim, por los hijos de Coré, Masquil, Canción de amores. Mi corazón está en un buen asunto: hablo de las cosas que hice con respecto al rey: mi lengua [es] la pluma de un buen escritor. Sobre Shoshannim ] El nombre de un

Psalms 51:1 — Salmo 51:1 «Al Músico principal, Salmo de David, cuando vino a él el profeta Natán, después que él había entrado en Betsabé. »Ten misericordia de mí, oh Dios, conforme a tu misericordia; conforme a la multitud de tus tiernas misericordias borra mis transgresiones. Salmo

Psalms 52:1 — Salmo 52:1 «Al Músico principal, Masquil, [Salmo] de David, cuando vino Doeg el edomita e informó a Saúl, y le dijo: David ha venido a la casa de Ahimelec. »¿Por qué te jactas de la maldad, oh valiente? la bondad de Dios [permanece] continuamente. Un Salmo de

Song of Solomon 2:2 — pero rodeada de espinas, como Abimelec; una zarza derecha de hecho, que crecía en la hilera de setos de base de una concubina, y rascaba y extraía sangre a propósito. Los hombres malvados se llaman cardos, Miqueas 7: 4 espinas torcidas y dobladas, Nah 1:10 que hieren la tierra y a los que las manipulan. De hecho, no pueden "tomarse con las manos", sino que "el hombre que los toque debe estar cercado con hierro y con el bastón de una lanza". Pero Dios "los arrojará a todos", es decir, al infierno, y

Hosea 13:13 — travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him — This commonwealth was before compared to a mother, Hosea 1:1-11 Hosea 3:1-5 . And as a woman that hath conceived is not for a while discerned to be with child till she biggen, and burnish, and grow near her time; so it is with sinners. See it elegantly set forth by St James, James 1:14-15 . The sorrows of a

Hosea 13:2 — arrepienten, sino que corren cada vez más hacia la idolatría. No contentos con adorar a Baal y a esas deidades paganas, Les hicieron imágenes de fundición de su plata ]. Juntaron su dinero para hacer becerros de oro, o santuarios de plata, como Hechos 19:24 , y otras baratijas idólatras; prodigaban plata de la bolsa, y tenían un costo no pequeño. Multiplicaron sus altares, Oseas 10:1 , y abusaron del oro y la plata de Dios hasta el adulterio místico, Oseas 2:8 . Todo esto lo hicieron ahora, dice

Hosea 2:16 — Y será en aquel día, dice el SEÑOR, que me llamarás Ishi; y no me llamarás más Baali. Ver. 16. Y será en ese día ] Una dulce promesa de una reforma completa, muy parecida a la de Zacarías 13:2 . Dios volverá a su pueblo un lenguaje puro, para que todos invoquen el nombre del Señor para servirle con un solo hombro, Sofonías 3:9 , para lo cual

Amos 3:9 — invited, to judge between God and his vineyard, to pass an impartial sentence, and to say whether Israel’s sins deserved not all the judgments that God by his prophets had denounced, yea, and greater too. Holy Ezra acknowledgeth as much, Ezra 9:13 . But because that many were ready to say, as those in Jeremiah, "Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee (saith the Lord), because thou sayest, I have not sinned," Jeremiah 2:35 . Yea, thy

Obadiah 1:7 — causes they will be, but not the companions of calamity. Like they are, saith one, to crows which flock to a dead carcass, not to defend it, but to devour it; and no sooner have they bared the bones but they are gone. David complaineth of such, Psalms 55:13-15 , and Jeremiah of his unkind countrymen of Anathoth, Jeremiah 11:23 . But for Edom it was no great pity, considering their perfidy both to God (because they had transgressed the laws, moral and municipal, changed the ordinances, that is, the law

Jonah 4:3 — pitiful peevish prayer, such as was that of Job, and that of Jeremiah above noted; to which may be added Sarah’s hasty wish for God to arbitrate between her and her husband; Moses’ quibbling with God, till at length he was angry, Exodus 4:10 ; Exodus 4:14 ; Elias’s desire to die out of discontent, … What a deal of filth and of flesh clogs and cleaves to our best performances! Hence David so prays for his prayers, and Nehemiah for pardon of his reformations. Anger is ever an

Micah 6:2 — Roman censor calls for your appearance; for he knew not where to call for a good man alive. And ye strong foundations of the earth — Those "roots of the mountains," John 2:7 ; yet not so strong but God can shake them, Job 9:5-6 Nahum 1:5-6 ; and that by so weak a creature as air, gotten underground, and seeking a vent. He can lift them off their foundations, Deuteronomy 32:22 , and carry them to another place to hear his controversy, as he did the hill in Herefordshire, A. D. 1571,

Haggai 2:8 — second temple should be more glorious than the first, since they wanted that wealth wherewith Solomon abounded; God answereth in like sort, as once he did Moses, alleging the slowness of his speech, "Who hath made man’s mouth?" Exodus 4:10-11 , so here, whose is the silver and the gold? Am not I the true proprietor and chief Lord of all? cannot I furnish you out of my great purse, the earth, and the fulness thereof? Psalms 24:1 ( Terra est marsupium Domini ). What is silver and gold

Zechariah 3:2 — "We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not," sc. unto death; "but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself" ( sc. "in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life," Judges 1:21 ), "and that wicked one," or that troubler of the saints, "toucheth him not," viz. with a deadly touch, so as to poison him and undo him, 1 John 5:18 . Christus nobiscum, state. Christ, stand with us. The Prince of Persia cannot

Zechariah 4:9 — over. The work shall be done, saith God, and Zerubbabel, how unlikely soever, shall do it. Believe the prophets and ye shall prosper. It shall never be said of Zerubbabel, as of the foolish builder, "This man began, but could not finish," Luke 14:30 ; or, as a foreigner, seeing Christ Church in Oxford, said to it, Egregium opus; Cardinalis iste instituit collegium, et absolvit culinam. A pretty piece of work! A college begun, and a kitchen finished. It was God that set Zerubbabel to work; and

Zechariah 6:1 — will give heed unto them, and lift up her eyes. There came four chariots out — i.e. Four squadrons of angels, God’s warriors, and ministers of his manifold decrees, which are here set forth by the name of brazen mountains, see Zechariah 1:8 , See Trapp on " Zechariah 1:8 " Chariots the angels are called in many places, 2 Kings 2:11 ; 2 Kings 6:17 Habakkuk 3:8 , but especially Psalms 68:17 . The chariots of God (in the Hebrew it is chariot, in the singular, to note the joint

Zechariah 8:19 — fourth month — Wherein the city was taken, 2 Kings 25:3 . And the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh — See Zechariah 7:3 ; Zechariah 7:5 . And the fast of the tenth — Wherein Jerusalem was first beleaguered, 2 Kings 25:1 . This last mentioned was first taken up, upon a like occasion, as the Emperor of Constantinople (when the city was besieged by the Turk’s army) being certainly advertised of the enemies’ purpose for a general assault shortly to be given,

Matthew 4:21 — — Three pair of brethren, at least, our Saviour called to the apostleship; to show what brotherly love should be found among ministers, what agreement in judgment and affection. There the Lord commands the blessing, and life for evermore,Psalms 133:3; Psalms 133:3 . As where envying and strife is, there is confusion, and every evil work,James 3:16; James 3:16 . Hence the devil laboureth (all he can) to set ministers at variance, and to sow dissension among them (as between Paul and Barnabas),
