“Third, he sets out the order of destruction, for it comes through judgment; hence he sets out the coming of the judge: for behold the Lord will come: behold the Lord will come forth (Mic 1:3), and all the angels with him; and the revealing of their crimes: and the earth shall disclose her blood: O earth, cover not you my blood, neither let my cry find a hiding place in you (Job 16:19).”

The in-app commentary runs from the Fathers to the early-modern record, then stops — that's where the public-domain sources end, not where the reading does. For the modern reading, follow the sources directly.
