Francis Patrick Kenrick

The text, which is extremely obscure, is translated P. " The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted." This translation is borrowed from St. Jerome. The learned Gesenius understands it quite differently : " The wicked drive around, as when an earthquake is felt." The Vulgate ascribes the great increase of the number of men, especially of the wicked, ta a mysterious counsel of Providence.
