EXPLANATION

Verse 4. Out. This alludes to his sorrow for his sins, (Orig.) or to the fire of charity, which is enkindled by meditation on the last end, and so forth (verse 5) or rather it means, that while he repressed his tongue, he could not but feel an inward zeal and indignation, ( Calmet.) in consequence of grief suppressed. Worthington.—See Jeremiah 20:9. Menochius.
