Verse 9. Who. The companions of the spouse, ( Calmet.) or the synagogue, admire the Christian Church. Worthington.—Morning. Aurora. The Church dissipated the darkness of paganism; she appeared as the moon under persecution, and as the sun, after the conversion of Constantine. Calmet.—The like will happen in the days of antichrist. Ven. Bede.—The religion of the patriarchs may be compared to the morning-star: that of Moses, to the moon; and of Christ, to the sun. Menochius.
