Behold, &c.— If David, if Job, if the apostles and choicest servants of God, have been tried in this world by affliction, what must await the impious and the sinners? If God does not even pardon the just the faults which they may commit; how can the wicked, whose whole life is but one series of crimes, flatter themselves with impunity? The LXX read, If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? And their translation is followed by St. Peter, Ephesians 1 chap. Proverbs 4:18 and the Syriac and Arabic.
