EXPLANATION

Verse 12. Private. Heretics pretend such obscure visions, rather to get credit than to edify others. Saint Gregory verse 18. Worthington.—Many suppose that Eliphaz was guilty of feigning: but the greatest part think that he had truly seen a vision, but did not draw the proper conclusion from it. Calmet.—Prot. “Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.” Bible.
