George Leo Haydock

Greek prefixes, “A Hymn of the Fathers.” The author here imitates the third work of Solomon. (Haydock) — He had given rules for all virtues; and he now sets before us those who had put them in practice. (Calmet) — It was the custom to sound forth the praises of these fathers in the temple and synagogues, ver. 15. (Grotius)
