- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Omnes enim insipientes, et infelices supra modum animæ superbi, sunt inimici populi tui, et imperantes illi :

Haydock's commentary
In their pride, they threaten more than they can perform, (Isaias xvi. 6.) or they take images to be gods, which infants only imagine are men, as Lactantius observes, quoting Lucilius,
Ut pueri infantes credunt signa omnia ahena
Vivere et esse homines.
(Haydock)
Measure. They become insolent, and despise and persecute the servants of God. (Worthington)
