Esther 5:14 deest, quia nihil deest. The rich hath many friends, saith Solomon, seeming friends, but true enemies, parasites, brokers coal carters, good to scour a hot oven with. Such a one was that Adullamite to Judah, Genesis 38:20 ; Jonadab to Amnon, 2 Samuel 13:3 ; 2 Samuel 13:8 ; those green headed counsellors to Rehoboam, … Haman should have made a better choice, and have come more calm to counsel. It is not good sowing in a tempest, nor taking medicine in a fit. These friends of Haman deserved to
Job 10:22 than Jacob did, Genesis 37:35 ; Genesis 42:38 ; but it is such an elegant description of the grave, as exceedeth the phantasy of poet, and the rhetoric of all heathen orators. There is something like it in David’s Psalms, especially Psalms 88:11-12 , where the grave is called a place of perdition, a land of forgetfulness, and of darkness, whereinto they who descend praise not God, Psalms 115:17 . In respect of their bodies they do not, they cannot, Isaiah 38:18 . Hell, indeed, is much more
Song of Solomon 6:13 with God in Christ. Brightman gathers from this word, that the Church of the Jews in special is meant (the Church in general being usually before signified by the daughters of Jerusalem), and applies it to the recalling of the Jews, according to Romans 11:25 , …, which is yet to be fulfilled. Solomon’s wife, saith another, was after his name called the Shulamite, according to Isaiah 4:1 . And as Christ in this book is named Solomon, so the Church is called Shulamite, to show the communion
Isaiah 58:13 abominable.
And call the Sabbath a delight. — Counting it so, and making it so. The Jews call it Desiderium dierum, the desirable day. They meet it with these words, Veni sponsa mea, Come, my spouse. Of old, they blessed God for it, Nehemiah 9:14 and gave the whole week the denomination from it; Luke 18:12 they strictly and spiritually kept it: but now they think the Sabbath is not sufficiently observed except they eat and drink largely, and give themselves to other sensual delights. Buxt.,
Hosea 13:9
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine help.
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself — Heb. He, or, It hath marred thee, O Israel; that is, either thy sin of self-exaltation and forgetfulness of me, as Hosea 13:6 ; or thy king, in whom thou trustest, as Hosea 13:10 ; or thy calf, whom thou worshippedst, hath been the cause of thy confusion. Or thy feigned comforts, as Aben Ezra will have it; thy soothing up thyself in sinful practices. Or, one hath destroyed
Hosea 14:8 latter to be the better translation. Here, then, God promiseth, first, what Ephraim shall do, or rather, what he by his grace will cause him to do; he shall utterly abominate and abandon his idols, whereunto his heart had been joined, or glued, Hosea 4:17 ; secondly, what he will thereupon do for Ephraim; what special favour he will show him, and what a gracious compensation he will make him: "I have heard him, and observed him," … Ephraim, now grown penitent, shall say (see the like
Hosea 14:8 Considero que esta última es la mejor traducción.
Aquí, entonces, Dios promete, primero, lo que hará Efraín, o más bien, lo que él por su gracia le hará hacer; Abominará por completo y abandonará sus ídolos, a los cuales se unió o pegó su corazón, Oseas 4:17 ; en segundo lugar, lo que luego hará por Efraín; qué favor especial le mostrará, y qué graciosa compensación le hará: "Lo he oído, y lo he observado", etc.
Efraín, ahora arrepentido, dirá (véase la elipsis similar proporcionada, Isaías 5: 9), con
Hosea 8:6 for worshipping the works of their own hands, for going a whoring after their own inventions, for changing the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things, Romans 1:23 ; as in Lapland, the people worship that all day for a god whatsoever they see first in the morning, Now that a calf worship should be found in Israel, and not only so, but found out by Israel; who was herein worse than Egypt; for that the Egyptians
Amos 4:1 Oíd esta palabra, vacas de Basán, que estáis en el monte de Samaria, que oprimen al pobre, que aplastan al menesteroso, que dicen a sus amos: Traed y bebamos.
Ver. 1. Oíd esta palabra, vacas de Basán ] Obesae et bene pastae, gordos bawson (como solemos llamarlos), vosotros que sois
“ Boeotum in patria, crassoque sub aere natae. "
Vosotros que tenéis corazones gordos como la grasa, y no os deleitáis en la ley de
Amos 6:6 emborrachara sino sólo una vez al año, cuando sacrificaban al sol, a quien tomaban por el mayor de los dioses? Cuánto mejor Betsabé, en su lección de Lemuel, "No es para reyes, Lemuel, no es para reyes beber vino, ni para príncipes sidra: Proverbios 31:4,5 .
Y si no es por los reyes, mucho menos es para otros estar "embriagados con vino, en el cual hay exceso", Efesios 5:18 , no sea que con Nabal y el rico glotón, beban profundamente del vino de la ira de Dios, y tengan las copas llenas de su venganza
Jonah 1:5 cada uno clamaba a su dios ] Obligados por la necesidad presente, primero estos robustos tipos fueron sorprendidos por el miedo; tampoco podían mirar a la muerte pálida a la cara con sangre en las mejillas. La muerte es el "rey de los terrores", Job 18:14 , el hombre matadero de la naturaleza, la maldición de Dios y el proveedor de ayudas.
A continuación, "clamaron cada uno a su dios". Esta fue una lección de las enseñanzas de la Madre Naturaleza, sc. que hay un Dios, y que este Dios debe ser invocado,
Zechariah 1:15 Y estoy muy disgustado con los paganos [que están] en paz; porque estaba un poco disgustado, y ellos ayudaron a superar la aflicción.
Ver. 15. Y estoy muy disgustado con los paganos que se sienten cómodos ] Heb. Estoy en un calor que me hace echar humo y hacer espuma. Estoy hirviendo, e incluso estoy a punto de estallar sobre ellos para destruirlos; porque la palabra que se usa aquí tiene
Zechariah 11:5 possessors slay them — Flaying their skin from off them, eating their flesh, breaking their bones, …, Micah 3:3 ; feeding themselves, and not the flock of God, Ezekiel 34:2 , as if they had been "lords over God’s heritage," 1 Peter 5:3 . Owners and possessors, as here, vel pretio vel paemio; and as the Pope and his, Curia Romana quae non vult ovem sine lana, The papal court which did not want the as the sheep without the fleece, old proverb was.
And hold themselves not guilty
Zechariah 5:3 it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that side according to it.
This is the curse — Or oath, with execration and cursing. Cursing men are cursed men, and God hath sworn that swearers shall not enter into his rest. Numbers 5:21 . àìä , ut et αρα Graece, iuramentum et execrationem significat. Mercer
That goeth forth — Yea, flieth, Zechariah 5:2 , more swiftly than an eagle, an arrow, a flash of lightning. Or, if not, yet
“ Poena
Matthew 4:1
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Then was Jesus led up — Lest haply the people, hearing that testimony from heaven, should come and take him by force to make him a king, as John 6:15 ; to try their love also to him, who was thus overclouded as the sun in his first rising.
Led up of the Spirit — The better to fit him thereby for the ministry. Luther observed of himself, that when God was about to set him upon any special service,
Matthew 4:24 fama sigue al desierto, como un dulce aroma a la rosa. Esto dio ocasión a los poetas para fingir que la tumba de Aquiles alguna vez estuvo adornada con amaranto verde. "Mejor es un buen nombre que las grandes riquezas", dice Salomón, Proverbios 22:1 . Y si puedo mantener mi crédito, soy lo suficientemente rico, dicen los paganos.
( Ego si bonam famam servasso, sat dives ero. Plaut.) La bendición y el buen informe se expresan en una misma palabra en el Antiguo Testamento, para mostrar la bendición
Matthew 5:33 si la duda o pregunta puede ser unida, o terminada con verdad o verdad, o aseveraciones tan desnudas, debemos, por el ejemplo de nuestro Salvador, abstenerse de un juramento.
Pero habiendo jurado, aunque para su daño, un hombre no debe cambiar, Salmo 15:4 , bajo pena de una maldición, sí, un libro lleno de maldiciones, Zacarías 5:3,4 . No les corresponde a los hombres jugar con juramentos como hacen los niños con nueces; deslizarlos a gusto, como hacen los monos con sus cuellos; para romperlos en
Matthew 6:1 Mirad que no hagáis vuestra limosna delante de los hombres, para ser vistos por ellos; de otra manera, no tendréis recompensa de vuestro Padre que está en los cielos.
Ver. 1. Mirad que no hagáis vuestra limosna ] vuestra justicia, dice el siríaco. Primero, hacemos a los pobres pero justo cuando los relevamos; porque tienen interés en nuestros bienes, en virtud de la comunión de los santos, por lo que Salomón, "No retengas",
Matthew 6:19 native order of speech, for clay, iron, brass, silver, …, to intimate (as some conceive) that silver is clay by an elegant allusion in the Chaldee, Should we load ourselves with thick clay? surcharge our hearts with cares of this life? Luke 21:34 . It is said, "Abraham was very rich in cattle, in siiver, and in gold," Genesis 13:2 . There is a Latin translation that hath it, "Abraham was very heavy," ááæ . And the original indifferently beareth both;
Matthew 6:19 No os hagáis tesoros en la tierra, donde la polilla y el orín corrompen, y donde ladrones minan y hurtan.
Ver. 19. No os hagáis tesoros en la tierra ] Este es el cuarto lugar común tratado aquí por nuestro Salvador, de desechar el cuidado desmesurado de las cosas terrenales, que él ejerce sobre todo, con nueve argumentos diferentes, hasta el final del capítulo.
