Haydock's commentary
Do. "Alter your opinion." (Menochius)
Symmachus, "hear." Septuagint, "may this be for your consolation," (Hebrew) which I shall receive from you, or which you may make use of, if you should be afflicted (Calmet) as I am. (Haydock)
Job undertakes to show that the wicked are sometimes suffered to enjoy a long prosperity.
