Isaias — Chapter 1
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 1
Not Amos the third of the lesser prophets, for this name is written in other letters in Hebrew: but one of the royal bloud, as S. Ierom testifieth.
Verse 4
Prince, Priest, and people are al sicke of ingratitude against God, & other iniquities.
Verse 9
God continually preferueth some holie seede, that his Church neuer faileth.
Verse 17
Much wickednes reigned in Ierusalem before their captiuitie in Babylon; but much more at Christs passion, when they persecuted him euen to the Crosse: and his disciples, and al Christians, til their citie was taken by the Romans, and the whole nation dispersed.
Verse 26
The Rabbins vnderstand those Iudges and Priests that gouerned the people after their deliuerie from captiuitie: but S. Ierom expoundeth this and the like places of the Apostles, and their successours.
