{Tender mercy} (splagchna eleous). Bowels of mercy
literally ( 1Pe 3:8  Jas 3:11 ). Revised margin has it, hearts of
mercy. {The dayspring from on high} (anatol(8820)ex hupsous).
Literally, rising from on high, like the rising sun or stars
( Isa 60:19 ). The word is used also of a sprouting plant or
branch ( Jer 23:5  Zec 6:12 ), but that does not suit here.
{Shall visit} (epeskepsetai), correct text, cf.  1:68 .
