In the same day shall the Lord shave with a hired razor, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
Read Chapter 7
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Razor. Or cut off with scissors all the hair, as was done with lepers, (Leviticus xiv. 9.) and Levites, Numbers viii. 7. The country shall be pillaged, and all shall be in mourning. (Calmet)
The men shall be despised as no better than women and cowards. (St. Jerome) (Theodoret)
Hired. With large sums. (Calmet)
