(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the rest of the men - that is, the ungodly.
yet - So A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. B and Aleph read, “did not even repent of,” namely, so as to give up “the works,” etc. Like Pharaoh hardening his heart against repentance notwithstanding the plagues.
of their hands - (Deu 31:29). Especially the idols made by their hands. Compare Rev 13:14, Rev 13:15, “the image of the beast” Rev 19:20.
that they should not - So B reads. But A, C, and Aleph read “that they shall not”: implying a prophecy of certainty that it shall be so.
devils - Greek, “demons” which lurk beneath the idols which idolaters worship.
