1 Kings 14:15

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their idol poles, provoking the LORD to anger.

(Calmet) To provoke. These people did not perhaps design (Haydock) to make God their enemy, no more than their king did, ver. 9. But their actions had that effect. Such expressions denote not the final cause, but the sequel of other facts, without direct intention. (Worthington) Yet these sins might probably be called sins of malice. (Haydock) They were all involved in ruin, because they had been accomplices in wickedness. (Menochius)
