George Leo Haydock, on Prov 23:29

“Who hath woe? whose father hath woe? who hath contentions? who falls into pits? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?”

“Whose father. St. Jerome has read ab avi, instead of abo, (Calmet) which is an interjection, (Bochart) alas! or it means, “trouble.” Septuagint, “drunkenness,” (Chaldean; Calmet) or “sorrow.” (Protestants) — Falls. Septuagint, “hath sorrows.” Hebrew, “babbling,” (Protestants; Haydock) or discontents of mind. (Calmet) — Cause. Drunkards often fall upon their best friends, as Alexander did on Clytus. (Menochius)”
