10

Look at the generations of old, and see: Who ever put his trust in the Lord, and was ashamed? Or who remained in his fear, and was forsaken? Or who called upon him, and he neglected him?

EXPLANATION

Verse 10. Enlightened. With joy. Isaiah 58. Menochius.—This verse is not in Greek. To avoid such frequent repetitions, it would be well to mark the passage in different characters, ( Bible.) or between crotchets, as in the French version. Calmet.—Yet the Greek editions are not uniform. See Drusius and Hæschel.
