Sirach 17:15 Douay-Rheims

And Israel was made the manifest portion of God.

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

God. Complutensian adds, “he nourishes him as his first-born with instruction, and dividing the light of love, he does not abandon him.” (Haydock) — But the Roman edition agrees with us. God declared himself king of Israel, (Calmet) and its guardian, while he intrusted other nations to angels. (Origen; St. Augustine; Psalm cxxxviii.; Glossa.; Deuteronomy xxxii. 8.)
