Haydock's commentary
Work. Booz doubted not but a full and eternal reward was due to good works. (Worthington)
Fled. This similitude frequently occurs, (Psalm xxxv. 8., and Matthew xxiii. 37,) to denote protection. (Calmet).
Chaldean, "Thou art come to be a proselyte, and to hide thyself under the shade of the majesty of his glory." (Menochius)
