Ver. 10. Woe unto him that saith to his father.] Are these fit words to a father? Is it not an impious morosity to talk unto him in this sort, Why hast thou begotten me at all? or if at all, why not rich, fair, wise? &c.

And to the woman,] i.e., To his mother, as Isa 49:15 but such as he can hardly find in his heart to call mother.
