Jer 27:5 · Douay-Rheims
“I made the earth, and the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power, and by my stretched out arm: and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my eyes.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown Reformed
1871
“God here, as elsewhere, connects with the symbol doctrine, which is as it were its soul, without which it would be not only cold and frivolous, but even dead [CALVIN]. God's mention of His supreme power is in order to refute the pride of those who rely on their own power (Isa 45:12). given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me-- (Psa 115:15-16; Dan 4:17, Dan 4:25, Dan 4:32). Not for his merits, but of My own sole good pleasure [ESTIUS].”

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.
