4. For —rather, "Nevertheless." English Version rightly reads as the Margin, Hebrew, "that is joined," instead of the text, "who is to be chosen?" hope —not of mere temporal good ( Job 14:7 ); but of yet repenting and being saved. dog —metaphor for the vilest persons ( 1 Samuel 24:14 ). lion —the noblest of animals ( Proverbs 30:30 ). better —as to hope of salvation; the noblest who die unconverted have no hope; the vilest, so long as they have life, have hope. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-5" class="com-number"
