Osee 5:10

The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

Challoner: As they that take up the boundThat is, they that remove the boundary, encroaching on the property of their neighbours: figuratively: going beyond the boundary of the laws of God.

The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum ; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.
Septuagint (Swete): ἐγένοντο οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰούδα ὡς μετατιθέντες ὅρια, ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐκχεῶ ὡς ὕδωρ τὸ ὅρμημά μου.
Hebrew (WLC): הָיוּ֙ שָׂרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה כְּמַסִּיגֵ֖י גְּב֑וּל עֲלֵיהֶ֕ם אֶשְׁפּ֥וֹךְ כַּמַּ֖יִם עֶבְרָתִֽי

Haydock's commentary

Bound. This was a capital crime, under Numa, and forbidden, Deuteronomy xix. 14. (Calmet)

Juda hoped to seize what was abandoned. (St. Jerome)

They deferred doing penance, and removed the boundaries set by their fathers, (Theodoret; Calmet) the virtuous patriarchs, whom they would not imitate.
