Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
Ver. 11. Vow, and pay to the Lord] A plain precept; and yet Bellarmine saith, Vovere nusquam est praeceptum. As for vowing to saints, he granteth, that when the Scriptures were written the Church had no such custom (Lib. ii. de Monach. cap. 17; De Cult. Sanetor. cap. 9). Saint worship then is but new worship.
Let all that be round about him] All the neighbouring nations; and so they did, after Assyria's overthrow, 2 Chronicles 32:21; 2 Chronicles 32:23 .
To him that ought to be feared] Heb. to fear, that is, to God, the proper object of fear, called therefore fear, by an appellative property.
