Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 2 Complete John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
11. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings;
11. Ut aquila quae excitat nidum suum, super pullos suos cubat, expandit alas suas, assumit eum, portando super alas suas.
12. So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
12. Jehova solus deduxit eum, et non fuit eum illo deus alienigenae.
13. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
13. Equitare fecit eum super excelsa terrae, et comedit fructus agri, et fecit ut sugeret mel e petra, et oleum e silice petrae.
14. Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
14. Butyrum bovis, et lac ovium, cum adipe agnorum, et arietes filios Basan, et hircos una cum adipe granorum tritici, et sanguinem uvae bibisti rubicundum.
15. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness: then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
15. Et impinguatus est Rectus, et recalcitravit: impinguatus es, inrassatus es, operuisti: et dereliquit Deum qui fecit eum, ac despexit Ileum salutem suam.
16. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
16. Provocaverunt eum ad zelum super extraneos, per abominationes irritaverunt eum.
17. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
17. Sacrificaverunt daemoniis, non Deo, diis quos non noverant, novis qui de propinquo venerunt quos non timuerunt patres vestri.
