(Challoner) --- They deride the prophets, speaking words of no meaning, as if their predictions were no better.

(St. Epiphanius 25.) --- Why do they not speak plain?

(Calmet) --- Protestants, "for precept must be upon precept....line upon line....here a little, and there a little. For with stammering lips," &c. (Haydock)
