This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth “Because of his iniquity for a short time was I wroth” - For בצעו bitso, I read בצע betsa, a little while, from בצע batsa, he cut of, as the Septuagint read and render it, βραχυ τι, “a certain short space.” Propter iniquitatem avaritiae ejus, “because of the iniquity of his avarice,” the rendering of the Vulgate, which our translators and I believe all others follow, is surely quite beside the purpose.
