19 Quelli che ci hanno perseguiti Sono stati più leggieri che le aquile del cielo; Ci son corsi dietro in su i monti, Ci han posti agguati nel deserto.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Pursue

  

'To pursue,' as in Genesis 14:16, signifies a state of purification, because 'to pursue enemies' is the expulsion of evils and falsities which were with goods and truths and so appeared like goods and truths, and then delivery and purification of those goods and truths.
