Isaias — Chapter 34
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
God willeth as wel gentils that were farre of, to come neere, as also the Iewes that were his peculiar people, al to attend, that he wil destroy this whole world, before the general Iudgement.
Verse 5
No defence of strong places shal saue anie men from destruction in the day of Iudgement.
Verse 9
In the meane time, as a figure thereof, Sion shal be destroyed: and therefore the metaphorical destruction following, rather pertayneth to the state of the damned in the next world.
