Vulgate (Clementine): Etiam si occiderit me, in ipso sperabo : verumtamen vias meas in conspectu ejus arguam.

Haydock's commentary

In him. Hebrew lu is read, though lo, "not," is written in the Hebrew text. (Haydock)

Protestants, &c., follow the sense of the Vulgate, and Junius comes to the same, as he reads lo with an interrogation: "Should I not hope in him?" Luther and the Belgic version go astray: "Behold he shall kill me, and I cannot expect," or hope; I am resolved to die: which words indicate "extreme impatience." (Amama)

Septuagint, "If the powerful (or Lord) lay [not] hands on me, since it is commenced? No: but I shall speak and arraign [you] before him," &c. The words not and you are thus placed in Grabe's edition. (Haydock)

Ways. I do not pretend that I am quite blameless. (Calmet)

Protestants, "I will maintain (Marginal note: prove, or argue) mine own ways before him." (Haydock)

I will hope, like Abraham, even against hope, to shew that I am not actuated by despair: yet I will continue to declare my innocence, ver. 16. (Tirinus)

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).
