- Propter quod et ego dedi vos contemptibiles, et humiles omnibus populis, sicut non servastis vias meas, et accepistis faciem in lege.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- κἀγὼ δέδωκα ὑμᾶς ἐξουδενωμένους καὶ ἀπερριμμένους εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ὑμεῖς οὐ φυλάσσεσθε τὰς ὁδούς μου ἀλλὰ ἐλαμβάνετε πρόσωπα ἐν νόμῳ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְגַם אֲנִ֞י נָתַ֧תִּי אֶתְכֶ֛ם נִבְזִ֥ים וּשְׁפָלִ֖ים לְכָל הָעָ֑ם כְּפִ֗י אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֵֽינְכֶם֙ שֹׁמְרִ֣ים אֶת דְּרָכַ֔י וְנֹשְׂאִ֥ים פָּנִ֖ים בַּתּוֹרָֽה
Haydock's commentary
People. If priests comply not with these high functions, they are despicable here, and condemned to eternal torments, Jude 11. (Worthington)
Accepted. Hebrew, "raised up faces," instead of reproving the guilty, Deuteronomy i. 10., and Leviticus xix. 15.
