Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

Ver. 5. Then shalt thou understand.] Then shalt thou be as those noble Romans were, Rom 15:14 "full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others"; in fine, well accomplished Christian, that hath Christian for his name, and Catholic for his surname, Such a Catholic as Augustine describeth when he saith, Boni Catholici sunt qui et fidem integram sequuntur et bonos mores. Those be good Catholics that believe well and live well. These be not those ancient Roman Catholics.
