Isaiah 3:1
Douay-Rheims
For behold the sovereign the Lord of hosts shall take away from Jerusalem, and from Juda the valiant and the strong, the whole strength of bread, and the whole strength of water.
George Leo Haydock
Strong. Hebrew and Septuagint imply, “woman.” (Haydock) — Validam. (St. Cyprian, Test. i.) — After the death of Christ, the Jews had none strong. (St. Jerome) — Strength. Hebrew, “staff,” or support (Leviticus xxvi. 26.) in the dreadful famine which fell on Jerusalem, Lamentations iv. 5, 10. Who then shall rely on the power of any man? (Chap. ii. 22.) (Calmet) — The Jews were depressed at the sieges of their city, and will be so till the end of the world. (Worthington)
