Bede, on Prov 5:12

Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 5:12 · Douay-Rheims
“Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,”
On this verse:
“Why did I hate instruction? etc. He calls the instruction of ecclesiastical faith; the reproaches by which heretics are rebuked, why they withdrew from the Church, he refers to them. It is evident concerning fornicators.”
