EXPLANATION

Verse 15. He will. Greek “They shall have completed their sins.”—Tell thee. Greek adds, “and thou shalt go out with all thy forces, and none of them shall resist thee; and I will bring thee through Judea, over-against Jerusalem, and will place thy throne in the midst of it, and thou shalt drive them like sheep,” and so forth—Dog. This is proverbial. Exodus 11:7. Calmet.—All Israel was at rest after the death of Holofernes. Judith brought his head in triumph through the country. The promise of dominion ( Bible.) was ironical. 3 Kennicott. 22:15. Menochius.
