This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Which among them hath declared these things “Who among you hath predicted these things” - For בהם bahem, “among them,” twenty-one MSS., nine ancient, and two editions, one of them that of the year 1488, fourteen of De Rossi’s, and one ancient of my own, have בכם bachem, “among you;” and so the Syriac.
The Lord hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon “He, whom Jehovah hath loved, will execute his will on Babylon” - That is, Cyrus; so Symmachus has well rendered it: Ὁν ὁ Κυριος ηγαπησε ποιησει το θελημα αυτου, “He whom the Lord hath loved will perform his will.”
On the Chaldeans - The preposition is lost; it is supplied in the edition of 1486, which has בכשדים bechasdim, and so the Chaldee and Vulgate.
