ExplanationCommentary
Verse 15. Very angry. This anger was a zeal against sin; and an indignation at the affront offered to God; like that which the same holy prophet conceived upon the sight of the golden calf, Exodus 32:19. Challoner.—Respect not. Hebrew “thou wilt not have regard for their sacrifices,” as long as they continue in these sentiments of pride and of rebellion. Bible.—Thou knowest. Hebrew “I have not,” and so forth—Ass. This expression is proverbial, 1 Kennicott. 12:3. The Samar. and Septuagint read, chamod, “any thing desirable,” instead of chamor “an ass.” Calmet.
