Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia VII · §1

Jerusalem’s sin-list builds the hearer

Jerusalem’s sin catalogue trains us not to fall the same way. She took God’s garments and made embroidered idols, then played the harlot with them.

Latin

Catalogus peccatorum Hierusalem aedificat audientem — sicut servus novus discit disciplinam domini. Vestes a Deo accepit et fecit sibi sutilia simulacra et fornicata est super eis.
