Verse 3. Ruin. Septuagint “stumbling block,” the occasion of ruin. Menochius.—Thus by a false compassion ( Calmet.) and negligence, the Israelites brought upon themselves the most serious difficulties, while those whom they had spared, turned against them by a just judgment of God, and proved the ruin both of their souls and bodies, by drawing them into idolatry and then putting them to the sword.
