WK Translation Notes

+
a
In the critical text of 4 we have another sort of irregularity, when in the same clause appears formal and rational concord; and the Revisers attempt no reflection of it in giving "standing."
b
"Lord" of the earth is right. The T. R. reading "God" is not without support, but all the oldest MSS. and versions read "Lord." The former was probably due to the tempting antithesis "to the God of heaven," in verse 13.
