“Mala aurea in lectis argenteis, qui loquitur verbum in tempore suo.”
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. fitly: Heb. spoken upon his wheels”
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”
“A word fitly spoken Is like apples of gold in network of silver.”
Time, (Symmachus) “on its wheels,” (Hebrew) flowing smoothly, (Calmet) or “according to his two faces, is apples of gold in network of silver.” The Scriptures have a double sense. The exterior one leads to that sense which is interior, and more excellent. (Maimonides) (Parkhurst, p. 366.) — Gold, oranges. — Beds. On such the kings of Parthia slept, and these metals were very common under Solomon, 3 Kings x. 27., and Esther i. 6. (Calmet) — Montanus renders mascioth “transparent cases.” Protestants, “pictures of silver.”
