Isaiah 58:9
Douay-Rheims
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou wilt take away the chain out of the midst of thee, and cease to stretch out the finger, and to speak that which profiteth not.
George Leo Haydock
Finger, contemptuously, or threatening. (St. Jerome) — Some explain it of the ordaining sacred ministers, or taking another’s property.
