Homilies on Judges, Homilia II · §2

Israel did evil before God

The children of Israel did evil before God. Remember Jesus Christ risen from the dead — do not forget. After the leaders, forgetfulness breeds evil.

Latin

Fecerunt filii Israel malignum ante Deum. Memor esto Christum Iesum surrexisse — ne obliviscaris. Post duces oblivio parit malum.
