George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 6:15

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Jdt 6:15 · Douay-Rheims
“Saying: O Lord God of heaven and earth, behold their pride, and look on our low condition, and have regard to the face of thy saints, and shew that thou forsakes not them that trust on thee, and that thou humblest them that presume of themselves, and glory in their own strength.”
On this verse:
“Pride. God will not fail to reward those who trust in him, (Haydock) and to humble the presumptuous. (Worthington) — Saints. Syriac, “sanctuary.” This version and the Greek have only, “Look upon the face of the persons (or things) sanctified unto thee on this day. And they consoled Achior, and praised him greatly. And Ozias took him from the assembly to his own house, and made a feast (literally, drinking) for the ancients, and they invoked the God of Israel to assist them during all that night.” (Haydock)”
