| Jeremiah 15:17 | *I sat not in the assembly of jesters, nor did I make a boast of the presence of thy hand: I sat alone, because thou hast filled me with threats. Psalm 1:1.; Psalm 25:4. | Jesters, who deride religion, (Psalm 1:1.) or sport away their time. (Calmet) --- Hand, through vanity. Literally, "and I boast of." (Haydock) --- I rejoiced in suffering, as this prophet. Many (Calmet) supply nor from the former part of the sentence. (Menochius) --- Threats. I could not refrain from admonishing the people of their ways, (Haydock) which I would not countenance by my presence. (Calmet) --- All indeed kept at a distance from me. |
