Athanasius of Alexandria, on Isa 1:22

“Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.”

“Someone who looks at what is done divinely by the Word and denies the body, or looks at what is proper to the body and denies the Word's presence in the flesh or from what is human, entertains low thoughts concerning the Word … as a Jewish vintner, mixing water with the wine, shall account the cross an offense, or as a Gentile, will deem the preaching folly.”
