George Leo Haydock, on Prov 21:1

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Prov 21:1 · Douay-Rheims
“As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it.”
On this verse:
“It. Though it be free, and may resist grace or embrace virtue, Isaias xlv. 22., Jeremias iii. 14., and vii. 3., and Josue xxiv. 23. (Calmet) — Yet God knows how to turn the heart even of a king, so as to preserve his liberty, with the same ease as a gardener brings the streams of water to his plants. (Menochius)”
