EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Saved: less disturbed. The world shall be redeemed. Lu. 2:14. Ephesians 2:14.—Just. Hebrew “Justice,” by whom we are made just. He is the true God. Colossians 2:9. 14. No man could bear this title: and Grotius insidiously attempts to apply it to the Jews, though the Chal. and so forth clearly speak of the Messias. He must be read with great caution. Calmet.—Septuagint “This is his name, which the Lord will call him, Josedech. In the prophets. 9. My,” and so forth Bible.—Josedech means “the Lord justice.” Calmet.—Sym. “Lord, justify us.”
