Isaiah 21:2

OLD TESTAMENTNEW TESTAMENT

A distressing vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all its sighing have I made to cease.

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Spoileth. Baltassar is incorrigible, or his opponents must proceed. (Calmet) Elam; that is, O Persia: (Challoner) Cyrus, and Darius, the Mede. (Calmet) The former nation was weak, and the latter strong. (Worthington) Cease. The enemy will show no pity; nor shall I; as Babylon did not heretofore. (Haydock)

Gregory the Theologian

AD 390

We receive the Son’s light from the Father’s light in the light of the Spirit: that is what we ourselves have seen and what we now proclaim—it is the plain and simple explanation of the Trinity. Let the treacherous deal treacherously, let the transgressor transgress—we shall preach what we know. We shall climb a lofty mountain and shout it out, if we are not given a hearing below. We shall extol the Spirit; we shall not be afraid. If we do have fear, it will be of silence, not of preaching. - "On the Holy Spirit, Theological Oration 5 (31).3"
