Verse 3. O. This is a sort of manifesto to the rebels; and an invitation for them to return to their duty, desisting from setting up a false king, or a lie. Bible.—Dull. Hebrew “my glory to shame.” But the reading of the Septuagint seems to preferable, ( Calmet.) as the rhyme in Hebrew is now lost, (Fourmont) and the text has been altered (Houbig.) by an injudicious junction of words, and by using c for b. In ancient MSS. the words were all joined together, (Bert.) as may be seen in the specimen of the Alex. Septuagint given by Grabe. Prot. “How long will ye turn my glory into shame?” and so forth Bible.
