Jdt 16:19 · Douay-Rheims
“But they that fear thee, shall be great with thee in all things.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900
1849
A.D.
George Leo Haydock Catholic
1774–1849
“Great. Greek, “treated mercifully by thee: for little with thee is all sacrifice, for the odour of sweetness; and all fat is but the least for thy holocausts. But he who fears the Lord, is ever great.” (Haydock) — This text is remarkable, as it shews (Calmet) that no sacrifice can please God, without interior holiness. Outward magnificence will be otherwise rejected with contempt. (Worthington)”

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.
