Esther 7:6 — Séneca, pero "el corazón del sabio discierne el tiempo y el juicio", Eclesiastés 8:5 . Los hombres de Isacar en los días de David estaban en gran cuenta, porque tenían conocimiento de los tiempos para saber qué debía hacer Israel y cuándo hacerlo, 1 Crónicas 12:32 . El adversario ] Heb. El hombre adversario, el Lycanthropos, el hombre poderoso que nos angustia, angustiador, es decir, nuestra calamidad; como gritó una vez el pueblo de Roma, con un elegante solecismo, Calamitas nostra Magnus est

Esther 8:15 — Y salió Mardoqueo de delante del rey con vestiduras reales de azul y blanco, y una gran corona de oro, y un manto de lino fino y púrpura; y la ciudad de Susán se regocijó y se regocijó. Ver. 15. Y salió Mardoqueo de la presencia del rey ] El lugar adonde fue, no está asentado. Es probable que haya ido a la casa de Amán, cuyo descuido le fue encomendado por Ester, o que fue a otras partes de la ciudad, por motivos de empleo público, del cual

Job 14:4 — manera, si no hago sino los de mi clase? ¿Pero era esta una súplica suficiente? David tenía otra opinión cuando alegó esto como una gran agravación de su culpa de sangre: "He aquí, en iniquidad fui formado, y en pecado me concibió mi madre", Salmo 51:5 : q. D. No sólo he caído en estos pecados inmundos, sino que lo he hecho por la venenosidad y la viciosidad de mi naturaleza, comúnmente llamada original, y por el apóstol que habita en el pecado, Romanos 7:17 , como por las escuelas peccatum peccans,

Job 4:20 — del hombre es un vapor, dice Santiago, una burbuja, dicen los paganos, una explosión, un sueño, una sombra, un sueño de una sombra, etc. Mueren para siempre ] Es decir, mueren de una vez por todas. Porque "si un hombre muere, ¿volverá a vivir?" Job 14:14 . No importa. En esta guerra, como no hay descarga, Eclesiastés 8:8 , tampoco se le concede a nadie errar dos veces; por lo tanto, Austin dijo que no sería ateo durante media hora para ganar un millón de mundos; porque no sabía, pero Dios podría

Song of Solomon 2:7 — mujeres fieles, como Lucas 23:28 están estrictamente acusados, y por así decirlo en conciencia ligado por la Iglesia, la "Madre de todos nosotros", Gal 4:26 no enfermar ni ofender, mucho o poco, a su bien amado esposo que "descansa en ella". amor, "Sof 3:17 y" se complace en la prosperidad de sus siervos ", Sal 35:27" hasta que le plazca "- es decir, no en absoluto: porque no es un Dios que se complace en la maldad, Sal 5 : 4 su Santo Espíritu es contristado por ello. Efesios 4:30 O, "hasta que le plazca";

Song of Solomon 4:14 — Nardo y azafrán; cálamo y canela, con todos los árboles de incienso; mirra y áloe, con todas las principales especias aromáticas; Ver. 14. Nard. ] Llamado en Juan 12:3 , "nardo muy costoso", o más bien, como dirán algunos eruditos, nardo de Opis, un pueblo cerca de Babilonia, donde crecía el nardo más preciado, y de donde fue transportado a otros lugares. a De esta planta, véase Plinio,

Hosea 10:2 — Out with the corruption that cleaveth to your hearts; and then there will be a constance and evenness in your minds, mouths, and manners; which is absolutely necessary to such as draw nigh to God in holy duties, and the contrary abominable, Isaiah 29:13 . Now shall they be found faulty — Sinners against their own souls, procurers of their own ruth and ruin. And this they shall so clearly be convinced of (as afflictio dat intellectum, smart makes wit), that they shall cry out, with Joseph’s

Hosea 10:2 — διψυχοι. Fuera la corrupción que se adhiere a vuestro corazón; y entonces habrá constancia y serenidad en sus mentes, bocas y modales; lo cual es absolutamente necesario para los que se acercan a Dios en deberes santos, y lo contrario abominable, Isaías 29:13 . Ahora serán hallados culpables ] Pecadores contra sus propias almas, procuradores de su propia verdad y ruina. Y de esto estarán tan claramente convencidos (como afflictio dat intellectum, inteligente hace ingenio), que clamarán, con los hermanos

Hosea 13:9 — Oh Israel, te destruiste a ti mismo; pero en mí está tu ayuda. Ver. 9. Oh Israel, te destruiste a ti mismo ] Heb. Él, o te ha estropeado, oh Israel; es decir, o tu pecado de ensalzarte y olvidarte de mí, como Oseas 13:6 ; o tu rey, en quien confías, como Oseas 13:10 ; O tu becerro, a quien adorabas, ha sido causa de tu confusión. O tus consuelos fingidos, como lo quiere Aben Ezra; tu consuelo en prácticas pecaminosas. O te ha destruido uno; o; algo te ha deshecho,

Hosea 3:4 — themselves by their idols set up at Dan and Bethel; that is, in the place of judgment, and in the house of God (so Dan and Bethel signify). Bethel was become Bethaven, and the place of judicature (called by Solomon the place of the Holy God, Ecclesiastes 8:10 ), so corrupted, that people were ready to say, as Themistocles once did, that if there were two ways showed him, the one leading to hell and the other to the tribunal, he would choose that which went to hell and forsake the other. That corruption

Amos 2:1 — for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime: For three transgressions, … — Or malicious wickedness with a high hand committed, and heaped up to that height. See Amos 1:3 . Because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom — "A wicked man," but yet a man: and God (who is a lover of mankind, φιλανθρωπος ) shows himself sensible of the injuries and

Amos 6:6 — they took to be the greatest of the gods? How much better Bathsheba, in her Lemuel’s lesson, "It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink: lest they drink and forget the law," Proverbs 31:4-5 . And if not for kings, much less is it for others to be "drunk with wine, wherein is excess," Ephesians 5:18 , lest with Nabal, and the rich glutton, they drink deep of the wine of God’s wrath, and have the full vials of his vengeance

Jonah 4:8 — to die than to live. God prepared a vehement east wind — The winds then blow not where they list, at random I mean, and without rule; but are both raised and laid again by God at his pleasure. He prepared, and sent out of his treasure, Jeremiah 10:13 , this Violent east wind — Heb. silent; so called either because it silenceth all other winds with its vehemence; or because when it blows men are made silent or deaf with its din, so that their tale cannot be heard. There are those who, by

Nahum 3:1 — of justice. Such a sanguinary city is Rome; not only drunk with the blood of saints, but also of her own children. Brazutus, set on by Hildebrand, was the death of six popes successively within the time of thirteen years. Pope John XXII (who sat A.D. 1316) flayed a bishop, who had some way offended him, and afterwards burned him. Pope Paul III poisoned two cardinals Fulgosus and Contarenus, a bishop also, and Johannes Baptists Vergerus, because he suspected them of Lutheranism. The Italians generally,

Zechariah 1:15 — maximo ferveo, I am as hot as may be against those heathens that are at ease, at heart’s ease, that come not in trouble, like other men, neither are they plagued as better men, Psalms 73:5 , and are therefore secure and insolent above measure, Job 21:23 , haughty and haunty, so that the Church cannot rest for them; they thrust with the shoulder and push with the horn (as afterwards, Zechariah 1:18-19 cf. Daniel 8:4 ), yea, they push the diseased, Ezekiel 34:21 , which is a singular cruelty. They

Malachi 1:5 — cannot a fly), they should busy their eyes, and regard the work of the Lord; yea, they should so consider the operation of his hand, as to say sensibly, "Let the Lord be magnified. Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place," Isaiah 5:12 Psalms 35:27 Ezekiel 3:12 . God hath delivered me out of all trouble, saith David, and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. The Edomites stood looking on and laughing at the Israelites’ destruction, Obadiah 1:12-13 . God saw this,

Matthew 4:24 — Syria — Fame followeth desert, as a sweet scent the rose. This gave occasion to the poets to feign that Achilles’ tomb was ever garnished with green amaranth. "A good name is better than great riches," saith Solomon, Proverbs 22:1 . And if I can keep my credit, I am rich enough, saith the heathen. ( Ego si bonam famam servasso, sat dives ero. Plaut.) Blessing and good report are expressed by one and the same word in the Old Testament, to show what a blessing of God it is. And

Matthew 5:33 — rather than to swear. For if the doubt or question may be assoiled, or ended by verily or truly, or such naked asseverations, we are, by the example of our Saviour, to forbear an oath. But having sworn, though to his hurt, a man must not change, Psalms 15:4 , upon pain of a curse, yea, a book full of curses, Zechariah 5:3-4 . It is not for men to play with oaths as children do with nuts; to slip them at pleasure, as monkeys do their collars; to snap them asunder, as Samson did his cords. It was an impious

Matthew 6:26 — εμβλεψατε ), consider them wisely, learn of them carefully, to cast away carnal carefulness, and to cast all your care upon God, who careth for them, how much more for you? "Ask now the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee," saith Job, Job 12:7 "that there is a reward for the righteous, and a God that judgeth in the earth." As he made them at first for his own glory (that we might admire his workmanship in their multitude and variety of colours, tunes, and taste, 1 Corinthians

2 Samuel 11:2 — suya, - esas, de lo contrario, ventanas de maldad y escapatorias de lujuria, los ojos; a través del cual la serpiente antigua se abre fácilmente en el corazón y se hace dueño de todo el hombre. Esto hizo que Job pasara de una oración a un voto. Job 31: 1 Sí, de un voto a una imprecación, Job 31: 7 como conocer el peligro de las miradas irregulares o las miradas desordenadas. Aquellos que abusan del ojo externo, son dignos de que se les oscurezca el ojo interno, dice Gregory. El ojo de David se convirtió
