Haydock's commentary
And of. Literally, "out of respect for the," &c. De veritate Dei & testamento. (Haydock)
The same words occur [in] chap. xlii. 2.; whence Jansenius thinks they have been transferred hither. Most refer them to what goes before. Blush for lying, which is contrary to the truth of God; and for the other sins which injure his covenant.
Meat. This posture betrays idleness or pride.
