Prophets’ constancy; Ezekiel bolder than Isaiah§1

1Prophets feared God more than men. Isaiah cried Hear, rulers of Sodom; Ezekiel must make known to Jerusalem her abominations — still harder constancy.

Latin · §1

Consideranti constantiam prophetarum miraculum subit — magis Deo quam hominibus crediderunt. Admirabar Esaiam antequam compararem Ezechiel: audite principes Sodomorum. Ezechiel iubetur notas facere Hierusalem abominationes suas.

Death and insults cannot silence the Word§2

2They despised death, danger, and insult while serving God’s will in prophecy. Glory to the Word. Amen.

Latin · §2

Contempserunt mortem, pericula, contumelias dum voluntati Dei deserviunt. Gloria Dei sermoni. Amen.
