EXPLANATION

Verse 10. Scourge. Aquila has Αφη, “the leprosy,” ( Calmet.) or any stroke of distress. Bible.—What the saints have suffered were not real evils, and they will be amply rewarded in heaven. They never complain, having God with them, ( Calmet. verse 15. Bible.) and his holy angels. Menochius.
