728:1
V ers. 23.— Utinam impleatur venter ejus, ut emittat in eum iram furoris sui et pluat super illum bellum suum! 29. Super divitem avarum pluunt Dei jacula. -Su- per hunc hypocritam bellum suum Dominus pluit cum judiciorum suorum gladiis ejus opera percutit. Bellum namque Deo pluere d est iniqui vitam distri- ctis sententiis desuper ad interitum urgere.
Verse 23.—Would that his belly may be filled, that God may send upon him the wrath of His fury, and rain down His war upon him! 29. Upon the covetous rich man God's darts rain down.—Upon this hypocrite the Lord rains down His war when with the swords of His judgments He smites his works. For to rain down war upon God's part is to press down the life of the wicked from above unto destruction by rigorous sentences.
第二十三節——但願他的肚腹得以充滿，好使天主向他傾降烈怒的忿恨，並將祂的戰爭如雨降在他身上！二九、天主的箭鏃如雨降在貪婪的財主身上。——主向這偽善者降下祂的戰爭，就是當祂用審判之劍擊打他的作為。因為在天主而言，降下戰爭如雨，就是以嚴厲的判決從上頭把惡人的生命逼向滅亡。
728:2
Bel um Deo pluere est superbientia contra se corda percu- tere, et mentem aridam, quasi quibusdam guttis pluviae densescentibus, judiciorum suorum jac(??)lis ferire, ut cum jam ad judicium rapitur, modo memi- nerit quia male concupivit, et concupita pejus con- gregare studuit, modo doleat quod congregata de- serit, quandoque autem et ultionis ignem sentiat, quem, ne bene viveret, praevidere contempsit. Se- Quit(??)r:
To rain down war on God's part is to smite hearts that swell in pride against Him, and to strike the arid mind, as with certain thickening drops of rain, with the darts of His judgments; so that, when already he is snatched to judgment, at one moment he may remember that he wickedly coveted, and worse still strove to heap up the things coveted, at another moment may grieve that he forsakes the things heaped up, and at length may feel the fire of retribution which, that he might not live well, he scorned to foresee. It follows:
在天主而言，降下戰爭如雨，就是擊打那些向祂驕傲自大的心，並以祂審判的箭鏃射透那乾枯的心靈，彷彿以某種漸密的雨滴；使他既已被攫往審判之際，一時記起自己曾邪惡地貪求、更惡地竭力積聚所貪之物，一時又為棄離所積之物而憂傷，終於也嘗到報應的火焰——那火焰他為了不肯善度此生而不屑預先思量。下文接著說：
