THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Prophecy of Abdias (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

1:12 Thou shalt not look, etc: or, thou shouldst not, etc. It is a reprehension for what they had done, and at the same time a declaration that these things should not pass unpunished.--Ibid. Thou shalt not magnify thy mouth. . .That is, thou shalt not speak arrogantly against the children of Juda as insulting them in their distress.
