To Koheleth the mention of the divine name is a possible source of danger; to Hooker God is One 'whom to know is life, and joy to make mention of his name.' Koheleth has only fear for God's holy name—a fear which is not indeed ineffectual but very pale and cheerless; Hooker, a 'perpetual fear and love,' and the love gives a new quality and a new efficacy to the fear.

see the notes of Ginsburg and Kingsbury. Renan renders, à l'envoyé des prêtres.) The angel is the destroying angel, whose action is discerned by faith in the judicial calamities which, sometimes at least, overtake the wrong-doer. (So the Targum, but postponing the appearance of the angel to the future judgment.)]
