George Leo Haydock, on Tob 13:7

“As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation.”

“Nation; the Israelites, (Menochius) whom he has chastised. (Haydock) — Ninive was still flourishing. Yet the Greek seems to refer to the Assyrian idolaters, (Calmet) or to both. Greek, “and I shew his power and magnificence to a sinful nation. Who knows if he will love and shew his mercy to you? I exalt my God, and my soul magnifies the King of heaven, and shall gladly proclaim his greatness: let all speak and confess to him in justice.””
