| Sirach 47:22 | Thou hast stained thy glory, and defiled thy seed, so as to bring wrath upon thy children, and to have thy folly kindled, | Defiled. Consecrating some even to Moloch, (Pineda 7:11.) or having children by those whom the law prohibited, Deuteronomy 7:2., and 23:2. (Calmet) --- His sins were punished: yet God's mercy preserved his posterity. (Worthington) (Psalm lxxxviii.) |
