Bede, on Prov 2:6
Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 2:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Because the Lord giveth wisdom: and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge.”
On this verse:
“For the Lord gives wisdom. This verse refers to what was said above: For if you call out for wisdom, and so on, until it says: And you will find the knowledge of God. For wisdom, that is, the Lord, is to be invoked to receive wisdom, because wisdom cannot be possessed by us ourselves, but is given by the Lord. Let Pelagius be silent, refuted by the Apostle who says: For what do you have that you did not receive? (1 Cor. IV). And James the Apostle: If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God (James I).”
