Bede, on Prov 10:6
Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 10:6 · Douay-Rheims
“The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but iniquity covereth the mouth of the wicked.”
On this verse:
“The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous, etc. The righteous will be told in judgment: Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom (Matt. 25). The mouths of the wicked, which served for revelry, drunkenness, and evil gossip, will be condemned by the wickedness they practiced. Indeed, the mouth of him who sought to cool his tongue in torment, on account of the many crimes for which he was punished more severely, was covered by wickedness (Luke 16).”
