Verse 19. Changed. Hebrew “repent.” Septuagint “to be overawed by threats.” Origen, “to be terrified.” In the book of Judith, (8:15,) it is said, For God will not threaten like man, nor be inflamed to anger, like the son of man. Calmet.—Do. Will he suffer me to curse Israel, after he has once given me a decided prohibition? Menochius.
