You sell your people for nothing, and do not increase your wealth by their price.
All Commentaries on Psalms 44:12 Go To Psalms 44
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Reckoning. Protestants, "thou dost not increase thy wealth by their price. "(Haydock)
Thou art eager to get quit of them, as of the vilest slaves. (Theodoret; Grotius) (Isaias l. 2., and lii. 3.) Exchange. Some copies of the Septuagint read allalagmasi, "jubilations "with the Ethiopic. (St. Augustine)
While others have more correctly allagmasi, like the Vulgate. There were none to purchase, so that thou hast given the people for nothing. (Calmet)
At the last siege of Jerusalem, the Jews, who had sold (Worthington) or bought Christ for thirty pieces of money, (Haydock) were themselves sold for the smallest price; thirty being given for one penny. See Josephus, Jewish Wars. (Worthington)
