Bonaventure, on Wis 5:18

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Wis 5:18 · Douay-Rheims
“And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies.”
On this verse:
“He shall put on justice for a breastplate: justice is compared to a coat of mail or breastplate, because, just as a coat of mail protects the whole body, so justice protects the soul on every side: whence Second Corinthians six: "By the armor of justice on the right hand and on the left"; Isaiah fifty-nine: "He put on justice as a breastplate." And he shall take sure judgment for a helmet, or certain: right judgment, that is, discernment, and it is compared to a helmet, which is the defense of the head, that is, of reason: Proverbs sixteen: "Divination is on the lips of the king; in judgment his mouth shall not err."”
