Isaias — Chapter 29
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
Ariel signifieth the lion of God: So Jerusalem called Ariel is threatened with destruction, which happened first by the Babylonians. Again more miserably by Titus & Vespasian, 40 years after Christs death.
Verse 8
Scribes and Pharisees pretending knowledge of Scriptures, can not read Christ in the Prophets, because these Books are sealed and they have not the key.
Verse 11
The Gentiles could not read Christ in these Books, because they knew not letters of the holy Scriptures.
