Haydock's commentary
That. Greek, "as he changed the waters into saltness," (Haydock) at Sodom, (Calmet) "his ways are plain for the saints: so to sinners they are stumbling-blocks," ver. 30. The Red Sea gave a passage to Israel, and overwhelmed the Egyptians. (Haydock)
Him. God does all with grandeur. He poured his graces upon Israel, and overwhelmed the giants in the deluge. (Calmet)
