Fathers

Homilies on Exodus, Homilia VI · §8

Nations heard and trembled

The nations heard and were angry; pangs seized the inhabitants of Philistia. Holy fear runs ahead of the gospel; news of the sea-crossing goes before the land of promise.

Latin

Audierunt gentes et iratae sunt; dolores apprehenderunt habitatores Philisthiim. Timores praecurrunt evangelium. Fama transitus maris praevenit terram promissionis.
