But I find the reading of these words [bent to back-sliding] 1very various, and indeed the Hebrew doth seem to countenance divers readings; and Calvin he doth read it, and Pareus, and others of our later Writers, Suspenst sunt, they are as men in suspense, hanging as it were in suspense; for so the word translated [Bent] it is a word that signifies a propension to a thing; and they turn it, Men that are in suspense; and so the Septuagints translation, They are a people in suspense: and it is very proper to 2the Hebrew word here to translate it thus, They are a people in suspense. Now then, If the translation of the word be thus, which is for ought I know as suitable, or rather more than the other, why then there are these two things mainly in it.
