“And Ozias and the ancients said to her: All things which thou hast spoken are true, and there is nothing to be reprehended in thy words.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900

George Leo Haydock Catholic
1774–1849
“Words. Greek adds, “for it is not to-day only that thy wisdom has appeared, but from thy earliest days all the people has known thy prudence, as the formation (Haydock. Syriac, the thought; Calmet) of thy heart is good. But the people was much oppressed with thirst, and they forced us to….take an oath, which we shall not break. Now,” &c. (Haydock) — It hence appears that Judith was not very young; and as many desired to marry her, (chap. ultra; Greek) we may conclude that she was of a middle age, or about thirty-five. (Houbigant)”

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.
