22
But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 22. I should. Some copies read avertissent, “they would have turned,” conformably with the Hebrew and so forth and we should suspect that this was a mistake of the transcriber, if S. Jerom did not agree with the Vulg. in his commentary, ( Calmet.) though not in express terms: ( Bible.) “I also should not have abandoned them to impurity … Let us behold how heretics, having once given way to despair, … seek the gratification of their sensual appetite.” Saint Jerome
