Cyril of Jerusalem, on Prov 5:15

Cyril of Jerusalem · A.D. 313–386
Prov 5:15 · Douay-Rheims
“Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:”
On this verse:
“Let us return to the sacred Scriptures and "drink water from our own cisterns and running water from our own wells." Let us drink of the living water, "springing up unto life everlasting." … Not visible rivers merely watering the earth with its thorns and trees, but enlightening souls.”
