Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia XII

Origen of Alexandria · c. 240–245 · Baehrens, Origenes Werke VIII = GCS 33 (1925) · Original English Translation

Two great eagles; say to the embittering house§1

1The parable of two great eagles with great wings is partly opened for us. Speak to the rebellious house — embittering, yet the text spares saying ‘embittering me.’

Latin · §1

De duabus aquilis magnis et magnarum alarum sermo divinus exponit. Die ad domum amaricantem — non addidit exacerbantem me.

Do you not know what these mean?§2

2Do you not know what these things mean? — some sense is given; some left for the hearer’s labor. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

Nescitis quid ista significent? Relinquit intelligendum quae dimisit intacta. Gloria Christo. Amen.
