| Baruch 2:19 | For it is not for the justices of our fathers that we pour out our prayers, and beg mercy in thy sight, O Lord our God. | Fathers. Greek adds, "and kings." --- Prayers. Greek, "mercy." We boast not of our good works. (Haydock) --- Mercy may denote prayer or humiliation. Theodoret gives a better sense: (Calmet) "We trust not in the just works of our fathers, or of ourselves, to receive any pity." (Haydock) |
