George Leo Haydock

Seemeth. Hebrew, “he is green before the sun” beat upon him. — Rising, ortu, for horto, (Haydock) as the Hebrew, &c., have “garden,” (Menochius) with some Latin editions. He had compared the wicked to a rush without moisture. But the just is like a plant in a fine garden, which is not hurt by the sun beams. It will grow even among stones, (Calmet) and may be transplanted without danger, ver. 19. (Haydock) — The whole may be, however, a continuation of the former simile. The rush will presently be scorched, as if it were thrown among stones, and its place will know it no longer, ver. 18. (Menochius)
