Bonaventure, on Lam 5:18

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Lam 5:18 · Douay-Rheims
“For mount Sion, because it is destroyed, foxes have walked upon it.”
On this verse:
“This refers much more directly to the time of the New Testament, when Scripture was made evident, and mostly toward the end, when those Scriptures were understood which had not been understood before. For then there shall be a "mountain," that is, the contemplative Church; then, "there shall be no harm" when the monsters of heresy shall flee on account of the proper use of wisdom. But today Mount Sion is desolate because of jackals, that is, because of cunning and fetid interpreters.”
