Homilies on Exodus, Homilia IV · §7

Voices, hail, and blows from above

Then come blows from above: voices, thunder, hail and fire wasting Egypt while Goshen is spared. Fear the One who turns both sky and sea to judgment — and still makes a difference for his own.

Latin

Post haec verbera: voces, tonitrua, grando et ignis. Superna correptio Aegyptum vastat; iusti in Gosen discernuntur. Timendus est qui et mare et caelum ministrat iudicio.
