Bede, on Prov 20:27
Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 20:27 · Douay-Rheims
“The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, which searcheth all the hidden things of the bowels.”
On this verse:
“The lamp of the Lord is the spirit of man, etc. The illumination of the divine breath, when it has come into the mind of man, illuminating it to itself, shows it was bearing perverse thoughts before the coming of the Holy Spirit, and it did not know how to weigh them.”
