For - rather, “Nevertheless.” English Version rightly reads as the Margin, Hebrew, “that is joined,” instead of the text, “who is to be chosen?”

hope - not of mere temporal good (Job 14:7); but of yet repenting and being saved.

dog - metaphor for the vilest persons (1Sa 24:14).

lion - the noblest of animals (Pro 30:30).

better - as to hope of salvation; the noblest who die unconverted have no hope; the vilest, so long as they have life, have hope.
