Tob 4:20 · Douay-Rheims
“Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him.”
Post-Reformation c. 1650 – 1900
1849
A.D.
George Leo Haydock Catholic
1774–1849
“Abide. Greek, “prosper,” (Menochius) or “be directed. For every nation has not counsel: but this same Lord bestows all good things. And whensoever he will, he humbles, as he pleases. And now, my son, remember my commands, and let them not be effaced from thy heart. Now, also, I make known unto thee the ten talents of silver, which I deposited with Gabael,” &c. (Haydock)”

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.
