Plants and Cornices
Psalm 144:11-15
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:…


: — If we alter "corner stones" into "cornices" we get a clearer meaning; and as one of our most eminent scholars prefers this rendering, reminding us that "Syrian architecture still delights in ornamenting corners of rooms with variegated carved work," we may accept the charge without misgiving.

(A. H. Vine.)
