Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Proverbs 20:14

George Leo Haydock, on Prov 20:14

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Prov 20:14 · Douay-Rheims
“It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.”
On this verse:
“Buyer. This is the common practice; yet it is not without exceptions. St. Augustine (Trin. xiii. 3.) observes, that the mountebank having promised to tell what every person had in his heart, many came to the theatre, when he told them that they all wished to buy cheap, and to sell dear. They all applauded the remark. (Calmet) — Septuagint is here defective. (Haydock)”
