Jdt 8:23 · Douay-Rheims
“So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful.”
On this verse:
“Jacob. Greek adds, “in Mesopotamia….because he does not take vengeance on us, as he made them pass through fire to examine their heart. But the Lord, for an admonition, chastises those who approach to him. And Ozias,” ver. 28. (Haydock)”
