In Context

31Who shall reprove his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

33He hath been acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus, and he shall draw every man after him, and there are innumerable before him. Acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus... The Hebrew word, which St. Jerome has here rendered by the name Cocytus, (which the poets represent as a river in hell,) signifies a valley or a torrent: and in this place, is taken for the low region of death and hell: which willingly, as it were, receives the wicked at their death: who are ushered in by innumerable others that have gone before them; and are followed by multitudes above number.
