Verse 12. Women. “Let no women be our senate, as the impious Porphyrius objects.” The scribes and Pharisees sought for lucre and pleasure. The teacher approved by the Church must excite tears and not laughter; he must correct sinners, and pronounce no one blessed. Saint Jerome Bible.—The last kings of Juda were real tyrants, and weak as women. Calmet.—Blessed. Prot. marg. and the text has, “lead thee.”
