Isaias 27:8
In measure against measure, when it shall be cast off, thou shalt judge it. He hath meditated with his severe spirit in the day of heat.
The verse in its languages
- Vulgate (Clementine)
- In mensura contra mensuram, cum abjecta fuerit, judicabis eam ; meditatus est in spiritu suo duro per diem æstus.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- μαχόμενος καὶ ὀνειδίζων ἐξαποστελεῖ αὐτούς· οὐ σὺ ἦσθα μελετῶν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ σκληρῷ, ἀνελεῖν αὐτοὺς πνεύματι θυμοῦ;
- Hebrew (WLC)
- בְּסַּאסְּאָ֖ה בְּשַׁלְחָ֣הּ תְּרִיבֶ֑נָּה הָגָ֛ה בְּרוּח֥וֹ הַקָּשָׁ֖ה בְּי֥וֹם קָדִֽים
Haydock's commentary
Cast off. When the synagogue shall be cast off, thou shalt judge it in measure, and in proportion to its crimes. (Challoner)
The Israelites have been rigorously punished. (Calmet)
He, &c. God hath designed severe punishments in the day of his wrath. (Challoner)
Where a note speaks of the Jewish people, the Church teaches that the Passion cannot be charged against all the Jews then living, nor against the Jews of today, and that all sinners were its authors (CCC 597, 598).
