Phe- ‘of the mouth’ Sion- the earthly or the Church or the soul. her hands- as if giving birth, so that what she is not able to do with her mouth, she signifies with the extension of her hands. comfort her- when the true comforter has been dispelled. has commanded- justly disposing. against Jacob- boasting with his name only. his enemies- Chaldeans or Romans. is polluted- with vain glory; allotting good things to ourselves, through vanity itself we pollute whatever we touch, like menstrous women.
