George Leo Haydock, on Jdt 9:16

“For thy power, O Lord, is not in a multitude, nor is thy pleasure in the strength of horses, nor from the beginning have the proud been acceptable to thee: but the prayer of the humble and the meek hath always pleased thee.”

“Horses. Greek, “the potent, but thou art the Lord of the humble.””
