Gregory the Great, on Job 13:20

Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Job 13:20 · Douay-Rheims
“Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid:”
On this verse:
“Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from Thy face. What are we to understand here by the 'face of God,' saving His visitation? In which, whilst He beholds, He also punishes our sins, from which no just man even is hidden, if the two things, which he entreats, be not removed.”
