EXPLANATION

Verse 3. Shall. Septuagint “will stand in battle array among,” and so forth (παραταξεται εν) though he will one day punish the victorious Romans. Bible.—Now he fought with them as Hebrew may signify. Calmet.—Various prodigies made this clear: (Jos. B. vii. 12. 16.) so that Titus would not receive the crown which was presented to him, as he looked upon himself only as the instrument employed by divine justice. Philost. vi. 14.—This sense is given by Saint Cyril and so forth Calmet.—In the days of Epiphanes, God defeated his projects. Bible.
