EXPLANATION

Verse 22. High. Adhere to Jesus Christ. Orig. Menochius.—Septuagint omit this sentence, and Saint Jerome thinks they did it perhaps for fear of shocking their brethren. In Jeremiah 17.—It is supplied from Aquila’s version, “how must he be esteemed?” Calmet.—Prot. “for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Jesus will kill the wicked one with the spirit of his mouth. 2 Thessalonians 2:8. Bible.—No dependence must be had in man. The Israelites vainly trusted in Egypt. Calmet.
