711:1
V ers. 9. — Oculus qui eum viderat, non videbit, neque ultra intuebitur eum c locus suus. 8. Linguoe adulantium ei nihil prosunt in judicie. — Quis est locus hypocritae, nisi cor adulantium? Ibi quippe requiescit, ubi favores invenerit. Oculus ergo qui eum viderat, non videbit, quia, subtractus d morte, stultis amatoribus suis absconditur, qui eum consueverant admirando conspicere. Nec ultra eum locus suus intuebitur, quia linguae adulantium hunc ad judicium favoribus non sequuntur. Sed tamen quousque vivit, ea quae ipse agit etiam sequaces suos docere non desinit, et per erroris sui pravitatem alios quoque ad eam quam exhibet generat simulationem. De quibus hic apte subditur:
Verse 9. — 'The eye that had seen him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any longer behold him. The tongues of those who flatter him shall profit him nothing in judgment.' — What is the place of the hypocrite, but the heart of those who flatter him? For there he rests, where he finds favours. 'The eye therefore that had seen him shall see him no more,' because, taken away by death, he is hidden from his foolish admirers, who were accustomed to gaze upon him with wonder. 'Nor shall his place any longer behold him,' because the tongues of those who flatter him do not follow him to judgment with their favours. Yet nevertheless, as long as he lives, he does not cease to teach even his followers the things which he himself does, and through the depravity of his own error he begets others also into that same dissimulation which he displays. Concerning whom it is fittingly here added:
第九節。——「那曾見過他的眼，必不再見他；他的居所也不再觀看他。那諂媚他之人的舌頭，在審判時對他毫無益處。」——偽善者的居所是什麼，豈不是那些諂媚他之人的心嗎？因為他正是在得著稱讚之處安歇。「所以那曾見過他的眼，必不再見他」，因為他被死亡取去，就從他愚昧的愛慕者眼前隱沒了，那些人素常懷著驚嘆凝視他。「他的居所也不再觀看他」，因為那些諂媚他之人的舌頭，並不帶著稱讚跟隨他到審判之地。然而，只要他還活著，他就不停地把自己所行的事教導他的追隨者，並藉著自己謬誤的敗壞，也把別人生入他所顯出的那同樣的偽裝之中。論到這些人，此處恰當地補充說：
