John Chrysostom, on Sir 30:20
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
Sir 30:20 · Douay-Rheims
“So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:”
On this verse:
“For if any one were to embrace a damsel he loves, but were not able to satisfy his desire, he undergoes the utmost torment. Even so also doth the rich man. For he hath plenty, and is with her, but cannot satisfy all his desire; but the same result takes place as some wise man mentions; "The lust of eunuch to deflower a virgin;" and, "Like an eunuch embracing a virgin and groaning;" so are all the rich.”
