4 Kings — Chapter 25
These annotations are from the original 1609 Douay Old Testament, the first complete English Catholic Bible translation, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Douai. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 7
Certaine false Prophets perswaded the King and the people not to beleeue the Prophets, who forewarned them of these calamities, because they said the one contradicted the other. Ieremie said (ch. 32.) Sedecias should see the eyes of Nabuchodonosor, and would be led into Babylon; Ezechiel said (ch. 12.) he should not see Babylon. Both were true: for he was caried thither after his eies were put out.
