George Leo Haydock, on Gen 6:5
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Gen 6:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,”
On this verse:
“At all times. Hebrew: only evil continually. They had no relish for any thing else: as we may say of a glutton, he thinks of nothing but his belly. Yet some good thoughts would occur occasionally, and we may grant that they did some things which were not sinful. (Menochius) — If we follow corrupt nature, and live among sinners, we find a law within us warring against the spirit; and a very powerful grace is necessary to rescue us from such a dangerous situation. (Calmet) — Though the expressions in this place seem general, they must be understood with some limitations. (Worthington)”
