Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia III · §1

Set your face against daughters who prophesy from their heart

Set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy from their own hearts. The soul has a face that must be braced against lying oracles.

Latin

Obfirma faciem tuam contra filias populi prophetantes de corde suo. Est alia facies praeter corporis — facies animae quae adversus mendacium firmatur.
