The Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary, following the Douay-Rheims Bible text, was originally compiled by Catholic priest and biblical scholar Reverend George Leo Haydock.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

Joy. The primitive Christians rejoiced in a good conscience, and in suffering for the truth.

Verse 2

Knees. Ye prophets, comfort the people with these promises. (Calmet) --- The apostles taught the Gentiles to do good. (Menochius)

Verse 3

Recompense. Christ will satisfy the justice of his Father. (Haydock) --- He will redeem the world, and refute the false interpretations of the Bible. (Calmet) --- He will bring the devil into subjection. (Menochius)

Verse 4

Free. Our Saviour healed both soul and body, (Calmet) shewing by his works (John x.; Worthington) that he had fulfilled this prediction, Luke vii. 22., and Matthew xi. 5. --- Waters. Baptism has sanctified the most wicked.

Verse 6

Dragons. Sea monsters, chap. xxxiv. 13. (Calmet) --- All shall be in proper order, neither too dry nor too wet. (Haydock)

Verse 7

Way, leading to Jerusalem. Idolaters, &amp;c., shall not be there, chap. lii. 1. This was only verified (Calmet) in the Catholic Church, where, though some wicked may be found, the truth still prevails; and holiness can be obtained no where else. (Haydock) --- This Church is unspotted, Ephesians v. 27. (Calmet) --- Fools. The most simple may learn what is necessary for salvation, (Menochius) which will never be done by consulting Scripture alone. (Haydock)

Verse 8

Lion. The devil's power shall be repressed, so that none will be deluded except by their own fault. (Menochius)

Verse 9

Sion. Before the defeat of Sennacherib, the roads were unsafe, chap. xxxviii. 8. (Calmet)
