Vers. 9. And hee made his graue with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no wickednesse, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Saint Jerome translates; And hath given the wicked for burial;1 as if the Prophet spake of the punishment, whereby the Lord will avenge himself of those which crucified Christ. But he rather speaks of Christs death,2 and of the fruits of it, and toucheth not this vengeance. Others think that the particle Et, signifies As: and they translate, He hath made his grave as that of the wicked. Some again translate With: and by the rich, understand Joseph of Arimathea, in whose sepulchre Christ was buried: but this exposition is constrained. Where he adds, and to the rich: I think the singular number is put for the plural, according to the custom of the Hebrews. I see no reason why Oecolampadius hath translated;3 He hath exposed his high places to the rich. By the rich, understanding tyrants and proud men; for they are wont to wax insolent and intemperate, in regard of their riches, which they abuse to play the Termagants.
