Thomas Aquinas, on Job 20:24
Thomas Aquinas · 1225–1274
Job 20:24 · Douay-Rheims
“He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.”
On this verse:
“So he then says, "He will flee before the weapons of iron," the present punishments by sustaining impatiently the punishments which wound him at close quarters, like an iron sword. "And he will fall on a bronze bow," in the punishments of the future life which wound from afar like a bronze bow, which cannot be broken, to show the infinite duration of future punishments.”
