Ambrose of Milan, on Isa 11:7
Ambrose of Milan · A.D. 339–397
Isa 11:7 · Douay-Rheims
“The calf and the bear shall feed: their young ones shall rest together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.”
On this verse:
“Such is the grace of the waters, that their calves and lions flee from them, so that this prophetic saying about the sanctity of the Church rightly applies to them: Then wolves and lambs will graze together, and lions and oxen will eat straw together. No wonder, since even in the Church, water works in the same way, that the washed-away wickedness of the thieves is compared with the innocence.”
