Bible Commentaries

Job 3:1 — waited for some words from him first, as knowing him wise and well spoken. Or [After this] After that Job’s pains were somewhat allayed, so that he could breathe, recollect himself, and utter his mind; for some troubles are above speech, Psalms 77:4 , they will hardly suffer a man to take breath, Job 9:18 , See Trapp on " Esther 4:14 " or to hear anything, though never so wholesome or comfortable, Exodus 6:9 . Job opened his mouth — But better he had kept it closed still: either

Song of Solomon 5:3 — a ellos! ¿Cómo "invalidan o rechazan el consejo de Dios contra ellos mismos" con esos abogados infelices, Lucas 7:30 siendo ingrati gratiae Dei,como habla Ambrosio, y juzgándose indignos de la vida eterna, con aquellos judíos perversos. Hechos 13:46 ¿Quién puede decir que no es justo que Cristo reprenda un día a tan ingratos gadarenos: "Apartaos de mí, impíos"; que los que le digan, como Félix le dijo una vez a Pablo: "Ve por este tiempo; cuando yo tenga una temporada conveniente, te llamaré",

Hosea 10:11 — from teaching (Malmad), Judges 3:31 , because therewith oxen are taught to plough, saith R. David. Ephraim was a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke, Jeremiah 31:18 , but God brought her to it and taught her, though at first a backsliding heifer, Hosea 4:16 , See Trapp on " Hosea 4:16 " taught her, as Gideon taught the men of Succoth, with briers and thorns of the wilderness, so that they paid dear for their learning, Judges 8:16 . But Ephraim, though taught it, loveth not ploughing work,

Hosea 11:4 — Los atraje con cuerdas de hombre, con ligaduras de amor; y fui para ellos como los que se quitan el yugo de sus mandíbulas, y les puse carne. Ver. 4. Los dibujé con cuerdas de hombre ] No de bestia; aunque han merecido ser estorbados como novillas rebeldes, y ser unidas y gobernadas con rigor, ser domesticadas y derribadas un eslabón más bajo, sin embargo, yo, fuera de mi filantropía, sí, por gracia

Hosea 12:1 — never be blown over. And followeth after the east wind — Which if he catch, a great catch he is like to have of it. Eurus est ventus urens et exsiccans. The east wind is noted in Scripture for pernicious and harmful to fruits and herbs, Genesis 41:6 Ezekiel 7:10 ; Ezekiel 29:17 Hosea 13:15 ; violent it is also, and spareth not men, John 4:8 . The Seventy render it, καυσωνα , a burning blast, as they do the former words, Ephraim is an evil spirit, by a

Hosea 12:1 — ira de Dios que nunca se apagará. Y sigue al viento solano]. Si lo atrapa, es como tener una gran presa. Eurus est ventus urens et exsiccans. El viento del este se menciona en las Escrituras como pernicioso y dañino para las frutas y las hierbas, Gen 41: 6 Ezequiel 7:10 ; Eze 29:17 Oseas 13:15 ; violento también es, y no perdona a los hombres, Juan 4:8 . Los Setenta lo traducen, καυσωνα, una ráfaga ardiente, como lo hacen con las palabras anteriores, Efraín es un espíritu maligno, por un error

Hosea 5:4 — No juzgarán sus obras para volverse a su Dios, porque espíritu de prostitución está en medio de ellos, y no han conocido al SEÑOR. Ver. 4. No enmarcarán sus acciones para volverse a su Dios ] O, sus acciones no los tolerarán. Es decir, están tan acostumbrados y endurecidos en prácticas pecaminosas, que no sólo están incapacitados para la conversión, sino que el mal se ve afectado por

Hosea 8:13 — personam, sed opus personae, as Luther saith; not themselves, but their bare sacrifices, Isaiah 66:3 , which is but as a brainless head and soulless body; it is but flesh, as it is here called in contempt and scorn. See the like, Jeremiah 7:21 Hosea 9:4 . And think the same of all external services, si careant anima sua, id est recta in Deum fide, et erecta in illum mente, if not performed in faith and obedience. Secondly, they pretended to serve God, when indeed they only served their own bellies,

Hosea 8:13 — personae, como dice Lutero; no ellos mismos, sino sus sacrificios desnudos, Isaías 66:3 , que es como una cabeza sin cerebro y un cuerpo sin alma; no es más que carne, como se le llama aquí con desprecio y desprecio. Véase algo similar, Jer 7:21 Oseas 9:4 . Y piense lo mismo de todos los servicios externos, si careant anima sua, id est recta in Deum fide, et erecta in illum mente, si no se realiza con fe y obediencia. En segundo lugar, pretendían servir a Dios, cuando en realidad solo servían a sus propios

Micah 3:11 — neither by request or reward, should be the magistrate’s motto. And Justice justice (as Moses phraseth it, Deuteronomy 16:20 margin), that is, clear sheer justice without mud should run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty torrent, Amos 5:24 . And the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money — They were merely mercenary; and as Apollo’s oracles, corrupted by Philip’s gold, were said φιλιππαζειν

Micah 3:11 — solicitud ni recompensa, debe ser el lema del magistrado. Y Justicia justicia (como dice Moisés, margen de Deuteronomio 16:20), es decir, la justicia pura y clara sin barro debe correr como las aguas, y la justicia como un torrente impetuoso, Amós 5:24 . Y sus sacerdotes enseñan por salario, y sus profetas adivinan por dinero ] Eran mercenarios; y así como los oráculos de Apolo, corrompidos por el oro de Felipe, se decían φιλιππαζειν, para hablar como él quería, así era aquí. Tanto los sacerdotes

Micah 6:8 — y bondad", Colosenses 3:12 , como el carcelero tenía para con Pablo y Silas; como el samaritano hacia el herido junto al camino; como aquellos cristianos primitivos que vinieron a la iglesia con fuertes afectos, con grandes contribuciones, Hechos 4:34 . Lo mismo se predice de Tiro, cuando se convirtió, Isaías 23:18 ; y de Etiopía, Salmo 68:31 , que ella "se apresurará a extender sus manos a Dios", Heb. los hará correr, notando su prontitud y rapidez en dar sus bienes a los santos. Las tiernas

Haggai 2:6 — 12:25, 26, aplica las palabras a Cristo; de donde observe que Cristo es Señor de los ejércitos y Dios Todopoderoso; incluso la misma segunda persona que se llama haddabhar, la Palabra, en el versículo anterior, es Dios en sí. Jn 1: 3 cf. Colosenses 1:14 ; Col 1:16 Jn 1: 9 cf. Jn 8:12 Jn 1:11 cf. Hechos 3:13,15 . Véanse esas coherencias de oraciones, Juan 9:3,4 , Juan 9:3,4 ; Juan 11:4 ; Juan 12:39,40 , además del argumento del apóstol, Hebreos 1:4 . Ese único Evangelio escrito por San Juan, que

Zechariah 10:1 — by the heat of the sun, lets down rain by drops out of the middle region of the air. This, if it come right in due time and measure, it maketh much for the fattening of the earth, Psalms 65:11 , allaying the heat, nourishing the herb and tree, Isaiah 44:14 , refreshing all creatures, grass, fruits, Leviticus 26:4 James 5:18 Isaiah 30:23 . So, if otherwise, it proves a great punishment, Joel 1:10-11 ; Joel 1:17 ; Joel 1:19 . Great expectation there was in Judaea and those Eastern parts of the former

Zechariah 13:2 — will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. I will cut off the names of the idols — Heb. of the fray bugs, gnatsabim terriculorum, scarecrows (as they are likewise called, 1 Samuel 31:9 1 Chronicles 10:9 Psalms 115:4 ; in contempt, as Priapus in Horace - furum aviumque, Maxima formido - ), or, grievous idols, as Psalms 16:4 , because they tormented the minds of the superstitious, and put them to great pains to no purpose; as is to be seen in Popish pilgrims, who

Zechariah 2:9 — (as Xerxes used to pitch his tent on high, and stand looking on his army when in fight), the Philistines will be heard to cry out, "God is come into the camp. Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hands of these mighty Gods?" 1 Samuel 4:8 . But if he once shake his hand (that mighty hand, as St James calleth it, that spanneth the heavens and shaketh the foundations of the earth), how much more if he smite with the hand and stamp with the foot (as the prophet in another case, Ezekiel

Zechariah 4:7 — the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it. Who art thou, O great mountain? — So the enemies seemed to themselves set aloft, and overtopping the low and poor estate of those feeble Jews, as they called them, Nehemiah 4:2 . But the virgin, daughter of Zion, despiseth them here, and laugheth them to scorn; she shaketh her head at them, and saith, Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? Isaiah 37:22 . It is good for thee to meddle with thy match, and not to exalt thyself

Zechariah 8:10 — enemy (see the like 2 Chronicles 15:5 ), he did eat the bread of his soul in the peril of his life, being wholly at the enemy’s mercy, which is mere cruelty. "For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go away?" said Saul, 1 Samuel 24:19 ; I think not, till he have his pennyworth of him; as that monster of Milan, as the bloody Papists in the massacre of Paris, as the merciless Spaniards on the harmless Indians (50,000,000 of whom they have murdered in 42 years, as Acosta, the Jesuit,

Matthew 7:25 — superstition to the knowledge of salvation (I say not to saving knowledge), whereby they might preach to others, themselves being castaways. God hath charged Christ, as Mediator, to see to the keeping of the bodies and souls of all true believers, John 6:39-40 . And he faithfully performed it. "Those thou gavest me I have kept," saith he, "and none of them is lost," John 17:12 . Christ makes exception of one that was lost, Ibid. That shows he was never of his body; for can he be a Saviour

Revelation 21:4 — Y Dios enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos; y no habrá más muerte, ni dolor, ni llanto, ni habrá más dolor: porque las cosas anteriores pasaron. Ver. 4. Y Dios enjugará ] Como las madres hacen las lágrimas de sus hijos. "El dolor y el suspiro huirán". Baca se convertirá en Berachah, suspirando en canto, la miseria en majestad; como la reina Isabel fue exaltada de prisionera a princesa; y como nuestro
