EXPLANATION

Verse 14. Seal. Men, formed to the image of God, shall die; and others shall be place in their stead, ( Menochius.) with as much ease as an impression is made upon clay. Bible.—Garment. The body seems to be the clothing of the soul, and will be changed. Psalms 101:27. Menochius.—Chal. “their form will be changed to clay, and they shall resemble a tattered garment.” Hebrew “their seal shall be changed like clay,” and so forth All their glory shall perish. Calmet.—Septuagint “hast thou taken earth or clay, and formed a living creature, and endued it with speech on the earth?” Is man the workd of thy hands? Bible.
