Gregory the Great, on Job 32:21
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Job 32:21 · Douay-Rheims
“I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.”
On this verse:
“I will not accept the person of man, I will not equal God to man; for I know not how long I shall continue, or whether after a while my Maker may take me away. Most judiciously he does not make God equal to man, since he knows not how long he may continue, or when in the judgment of God be taken away. And he well says, After a while my Maker may take me away; for however long is the period of the present life, it is short, from the very fact, that it is not enduring. For that which is confined within circumscribed limits has no claim to be considered lasting.”
