EXPLANATION

Verse 13. God. Prot. “If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.” Septuagint “For he is not turned aside by wrath;” (or Rom. edit.) “God, whose anger cannot be averted,” ( Bible.) unless we repent: ( Calmet.) “under him the whales below heaven bend.” Bible.—Perhaps they may have had some notions, like the Rabbins, respecting Leviathan; and S. Jerom may have alluded to the fable of the giants placed under mountains; (Æn. iii. and ix. Calmet.) or to Atalas propping the skies. Bible.—World. Great heroes, ( Calmet.) Kings, (Pineda) angels, ( Menochius.) who move the spheres, ( Worthington.) or devils. Ephesians 6:12. Cajetan.
