Psalms 105:20 And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

Grass. This enhances their folly. God is often styled the glory of his people. (Calmet) --- Osee 10:5. contemptuously calls the golden calf, the glory of Samaria. (Haydock) --- This idolatry was truly blameable, (Romans 1:23.) and not the veneration paid by Catholics to the images of Christ, etc. (Worthington) --- Those who pretend that the Hebrews meant to adore the true God, and not the idol Apis, are here clearly refuted; they forgot God, etc., Acts 7:40.
