George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Isa 1:29 · Douay-Rheims
“For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.”
On this verse:
“Idols. Protestants, “oaks, which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens,” &c. (Haydock) — The groves were sacred to Venus, and the gardens to Adonis, and were scenes of the greatest immorality and profanation, chap. lxv. 3.”
