ἀντέστη] Doubtless implies coming forward in witness against:
cf. lix. 12. The Heb. word usually means ‘answer’: Vulg. has
responrlere in both passages, and in Hos. v. 5: but in Hos. vii. 10
takes it from a different root, and renders humiliabitur LXX. more
consistently, if wrongly, ταπεινωθήσεται in both passages of Hosea. 10. εἰπόντες Δήσωμεν] Lxx. seem to have read the Heb. word for
‘Say ye’ as ‘Let us bind,’ with root-letters ABBREV for ABBREV 
εἰπόντες, as in ver. 6, xxii. 13 RAQ al., lviii. 3, or reading
Heb. word twice, with differences. The MSS. of the LXX. agree in reading
δήσωμεν δήσομεν Ζ): so Jerome on this passage gives alligemus, and
Barnabas, Ep. vi. 7, supports it. But Clement of Alexandria, Strom.
v. 14, and Hegesippus, quoted in Eusebius, Hist. Eccl. 11. xxiii. 15
have presuably presumably rendering from root ABBREV Justin
Tryph. 17, 133, has δήσωμεν, but in 136, 137 he has ἄρωμεν twice, and
moreover says that δήσωμεν is the Jewish reading. Tertullian also,
Adv. Mare. iii. 22, has Venite, ’nquz’unt, auferamus iustum quid
inutilis est nobis. There is a certain neatness about the Greek; and
the alternative reading supports the syntax and the D: but the
Hebrew has the parallelism in its favour, and the Creek is perhaps
inconsistent with καθ’ ἑαυτῶν. δύσχρηστος] seems to have more force than the inutilis of
Tertullian, which would be merely ἄχρηστος, as in Hosea viii. 8 ; compare
also Wisd. xiii. 10 and 12 and ii. 11 with ii. 12. It is an
unusually pointed phrase for the 1.101., implying ‘his goodness is no
good, is ill to us’; appearing to adapt the Hebrew of this passage,
‘(it is) good,’ with some skill. In Wisd. ii. 12 occurs ἐνεδρεύσωμεν δὲ Β) τὸν δίκαιον, ὅτι δύσχρη-
στος ἡμῖν ἐστιν ; ‘he is of disservice to us,’ R.V. Prof. Margoliouth, in
Line: of Defence of tire Biblical Revelation, chap. 1. p. 15 foll., and
chap. 11. p. 49 foll., argues for the priority of the Greek of Wisdom to
the Greek of Isaiah (as well as for a Hebrew original of Wisdom,
prior to Isaiah himself). The view usually held as to the Book of
Wisdom is however against this. There are many passages in Wisdom
with resemblances to the Lxx. of Isaiah and of other books of the
O.T. A few may be noticed here. Compare
Wisdom iii. 14 foll. with Isai. lvi. 4, lvii. 3
