Ephrem the Syrian, on Ps 48:12
Ephrem the Syrian · c. A.D. 306–373
Ps 48:12 · Douay-Rheims
“And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.”
On this verse:
“David wept for Adam, at how he fell from that royal abode to the abode of wild animals. Because he went astray through a beast he became like the beasts. He ate, together with them as a result of the curse, grass and roots, and he died, becoming their peer. Blessed is he who set him apart from the wild animals again.”
