Haydock's commentary
Friendship. Like Eliseus, or the disciples of both. (Calmet)
Greek, "who slept in love, for we also shall live indeed; (13.) Elias," &c. (Haydock)
When we shall witness thy return, if we prove faithful, we may expect an immortal name, and not otherwise. (Calmet)
He speaks in the person of those who shall live at that time. (Haydock)
