- juxta numerum quadraginta dierum, quibus considerastis terram : annus pro die imputabitur. Et quadraginta annis recipietis iniquitates vestras, et scietis ultionem meam :

- κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν ἡμερῶν ὅσας κατεσκέψασθε τὴν γῆν, τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας, ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ, λήμψεσθε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν τεσσεράκοντα ἔτη, καὶ γνώσεσθε τὸν θυμὸν τῆς ὀργῆς μου.

Haydock's commentary
Revenge. Hebrew, "my breach of promise, or if my threats be vain," &c. Septuagint, "you shall know the fury of my anger." (Calmet)
I will convince you by the severity with which I shall execute this sentence, that you had no reason to distrust my former promises. St. Jerome (in Ezec. xx.) entertains hopes of the eternal salvation of many of these Hebrews, who had time to do penance for their sins.
