George Leo Haydock

Face, O Juda. Septuagint, “who blows on thy face, (Genesis ii. 7.) freeing from misery.” Here St. Jerome’s Greek copy ends the chapter. (Haydock) — Watch. Behold Nabopolassar is about to attack thy enemies. Some think that Nahum addresses Ninive ironically. (Calmet) — Nabuchodonosor wasted all the environs, and then took the city (Worthington) after his other conquests. (Calmet) — But his father is here denoted. (Haydock)
