How long, LORD? will you be angry forever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
All Commentaries on Psalms 79:5 Go To Psalms 79
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Name. Their ignorance was of course culpable. (Berthier)

Those who know the will of their master, and do it not, shall suffer many stripes. Having the true faith, they may, however, (Haydock) be sooner converted. (Worthington)
