Silent. Hebrew has, (Haydock) an interjection, (St. Jerome) like our hush. (Haydock)
This denotes the importance of what he is going to say.
Guests. The blood of the wicked is his victim, Jeremias xlvi. 10., and Ezechiel xxxix. 17. (Calmet)
The day of punishment is commonly styled the day of the Lord, Isaias ii., and 1 Corinthians iii. (Worthington)
