Origen, on Ps 11:3

“They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.”

“When the Lord wipes out those things that are base, he will destroy those very things, so that when those things that have come on a person unexpectedly have been destroyed, the foremost creation of God whom the baser things had overtaken may take up the higher things.”
