EXPLANATION

Bible.—If we could have depended on any, Cyrus seemed to be the person. Yet he has been deceived, and now forbids the building of a temple. We must, however, be grateful for the liberty which we enjoy by the goodness of God. Calmet.—In one Son of man (Christ) we may trust; not because he is the Son of man, but because he is the Son of God. Saint Augustine Worthington.
