Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Esther 13:4

George Leo Haydock, on Esth 13:4

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Esth 13:4 · Douay-Rheims
“Told me that there was a people scattered through the whole world, which used new laws, and acted against the customs of all nations, despised the commandments of kings, and violated by their opposition the concord of all nations.”
On this verse:
“A people. Greek, “a certain perverse people, mixed with every tribe through,” &c. — New. Greek, “opposite to those of every nation, which always casteth aside the edicts of the kings, so that we cannot extend to them that upright and blameless dominion which we exercise over you.””
