In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out from among you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain.

EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Doings. Lit. “inventions,” of religion of thy own choice. Bible.—Thy past offenses shall be obliterated, and thou shalt commit nothing of the kind any more. Those proud spirits who caused thee to dislike my law, and who set up idols in my temple shall disappear.—Mountain. The temple shall be destroyed, that all may know that I am attached to virtue alone, ( Calmet.) and not to any edifice or place. Bible.—They trusted too much to the temple. Jeremiah 7:4. Menochius.
