Haydock's commentary
Neck. Some deny that the crocodile has any, being formed like a lizard. But it is a dispute about words. The animal turns with difficulty, so that Thomas Gage assures us he escaped one by going in different directions.
Want. It ravages a whole country. Hebrew, "fear." (Calmet)
Protestants, "sorrow is turned into joy before him;" which seems strange. Septuagint, "destruction runs before him." (Haydock)
The poets place fear, carnage, &c., in the train of Mars. (Calmet)
