οὔκ ἔσομαι] As in the former phrase: Heb. has ‘appoint me
not...’ 8. ἀνεῖται] See on i. 14 ; here= ‘is relaxed,’ vaguer than the Heb.
‘is fallen in ruin.’ Kay is disposed to see here a reference to ’s sin and its
punishment: 2 Chron. xxvi. 20. ἐταπεινώθη] ABBREV ‘eyes,’ read as ABBREV .’ 9. αἰσχύνη τοῦ προσώπου] Some, with R.V. margin, take this of
their ‘respect of persons,’ see on ver. 3; but it is more probably the
‘look’ of the face, as revealed to any observer: the LXX. interprets
well, though it is almost more shamelessness than shame that is
implied. The genitive Σοδόμων gives a special force, which is hardly
warranted by the Hebrew.
