Vers. 11. I said ain my haste.
- a[Greek or Hebrew]〈non-Latin alphabet〉
The word translated bhaste, properly signifieth to fly for fear. It is used to set out the fearful flight and haste of the Assyrians when they thought that the Hittites and Philistines were suddenly coming upon them, they cast away ⟨p. 135⟩their garments din their fearful flight. Hebrew Interpreters do sometimes translate it, eto make haste, as in the place quoted: and sometimes to be affrighted, as where it is said, fAt the voice of thy thunder they hasted away, they translate it, gThey shall be terrified. Whereas therefore there seemeth to be a difference betwixt interpreters, some translating this clause thus, in my haste; Others thus, in my fear; *both interpretations may well stand together, and be thus composed, in my sudden fear: or in my fearful haste; so as unadvised, rash, sudden fear was the cause of this conceit and censure, All men are liars.
