Hosea vi. 4. A.V., “Your goodness is as the morning cloud;” and so also LXX. τ λεο μν. And with this the Hebrew copies agree, as did St. Jerome’s (in loc. t. vi. 63, Venet. 1768). But St. Cyril (in loc. t. iii. 96), reads τ λεο μο And St. Jerome’s Commentary shows that according to his interpretation the two readings came to the same meaning. “Your mercy, that wherewith I have always had mercy upon you, hath passed by…for now is the captivity near.” [R.V., “For your goodness (or, kindness) is as a morning cloud.” In the Homily δ occurs, but is not translated.—R.]
