| Deuteronomy 32:36 | The Lord will judge his people,* and will have mercy on his servants: he shall see that their hand is weakened, and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed. 2 Machabees 7:6. | People who have been guilty, that he may spare them, when they repent. (Menochius) --- "He will give judgment in favour of his people," etc. (Houbigant) --- Servants. He will not involve the innocent in the ruin of the rebellious. (Menochius) --- But, at the same time, he will have them to be convinced that their salvation came not from themselves. He will assist them when all human aid has proved abortive, (Haydock) and when they are reduced to the utmost distress. See Isaias 35:3., and 3 Kings 21:21. Those who may have thought themselves secure in their sins, will not escape punishment. (Worthington) |
