Bonaventure, on Wis 10:11

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Wis 10:11 · Douay-Rheims
“In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable.”
On this verse:
“In the fraud of those circumventing him, that is, of those wishing to circumvent him, "Laban and his sons," as the Gloss says: she stood by him, namely by guarding him, lest he be deceived or harmed: Genesis 31: "Your father has circumvented me and changed my wages ten times." And she made him honorable, the Lord, that is, wealthy: Genesis 31: "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and enriched from his possessions, he has become illustrious."”
