| Sirach 42:2
| Of the law of the Most High, and of his covenant, and of judgment to justify the ungodly.
| Covenant. We must be ashamed of transgressing these, (chap. 41:24.) but not of complying with them. This is the first duty of man. --- Ungodly. Blush not to oppose such a judgment, (Calmet) though all the judges should be against thee. Follow no collusion of man to do evil. (Haydock) --- Pass sentence without respect of persons, (Deuteronomy 1:16.; Calmet) whether the parties be thy companions, or only travellers, ver. 3. (Haydock)
