Homilies on Psalm 36, Homilia V · §1

The mouth of the just meditates wisdom

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom. The inner man feeds not on banquets but on meditating wisdom; the law opens the mouth for God’s word.

Latin

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam. Non cibis et potu sed meditatione sapientiae vescitur interior homo. Lex aperit os ad verbum Dei.
