| Nahum 1:9
| What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
| Affliction. Septuagint add, "for the same thing, or together." (Haydock) --- Many hence infer, that those who have been slain by God, like the Sodomites, etc., will not be condemned to hell. (Origen, 1:Ezec.; St. Jerome.; St. Thomas Aquinas, 3. p. q. 59. a. 5.) --- But this principle cannot be always correct. (Calmet) --- Their temporal suffering might usher in eternal ones. (St. Gregory, Mor. 18:12.) --- Ninive shall perish; so that a second blow will not be requisite, 1 Kings 26:8. (Drusius) (Calmet)
