- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ipse autem sapiens adduxit malum, et verba sua non abstulit ; et consurget contra domum pessimorum, et contra auxilium operantium iniquitatem.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ αὐτὸς σοφὸς ἦγεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς κακά, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀθετηθῇ, καὶ ἐπαναστήσεται ἐπ᾽ οἴκους ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν τὴν ματαίαν,
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְגַם ה֤וּא חָכָם֙ וַיָּ֣בֵא רָ֔ע וְאֶת דְּבָרָ֖יו לֹ֣א הֵסִ֑יר וְקָם֙ עַל בֵּ֣ית מְרֵעִ֔ים וְעַל עֶזְרַ֖ת פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן
Haydock's commentary
Words. The Lord will punish the wicked Jews, (Calmet) after the Egyptians. (Josephus, [Jewish Antiquities?] x. 1.)
The former would not believe the prophets. (Worthington)
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).
