Haydock's commentary
High. Adhere to Jesus Christ. (Origen) (Menochius)
Septuagint omit this sentence, and St. Jerome thinks they did it perhaps for fear of shocking their brethren. In Jeremias xvii.
It is supplied from Aquila's version, "how must he be esteemed?" (Calmet)
Protestants, "for wherein is he to be accounted of?" Jesus will kill the wicked one with the spirit of his mouth, 2 Thessalonians ii. 8. (Haydock)
No dependence must be had in man. The Israelites vainly trusted in Egypt. (Calmet)
Haydock wrote amid the controversies of his day. The Church teaches that those born into communities separated from her cannot be charged with the sin of separation, and embraces them as brothers (CCC 818).
