ExplanationCommentary
Verse 6. Measure. Hebrew shalish, “three-fold.” Saint Jerome—The capacity of this measure is not determined. It might be the seah, or the third part of an epha, which would be very abundant, speaking of tears; though small to contain the earth. Isaiah 40:12. Calmet.—Penitents must eat little. Saint Jerome—Yet their sorrow must be moderated by hope. Euseb. See Ose. 9:4. Calmet.—God punishes so as not to destroy us. Worthington.
