Psalm 4:4
Douay-Rheims
Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
Ambrose of Milan
It is said that the greatest of the philosophers granted immunity from punishment to those crimes that had been committed through anger, but the divine Scripture says better: "Be angry, and sin not." It preferred rather to cut off sin than to excuse it. It is better to find praise for mercy in an occasion for indignation than to be incited by wrath toward vengeance.
