Bonaventure, on Wis 11:10

“For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath and tormented.”

“These indeed: the Gloss says: "the Israelites"; as a father admonishing, namely unto greater progress or unto advancing to what is better, you tested, that is, by admonishing through their correction you rendered them proven. "For the Lord scourges every son whom he receives," Hebrews 12: and Proverbs 3: "Whom the Lord loves he corrects, and as a father in his son he delights"; likewise above in chapter 3: "As gold in the furnace he tested them." But those: the Gloss says: "the Egyptians, or the Canaanites"; as a harsh king, through the effect of punishment, namely, you who in your nature are benign: examining, namely with punishments and examinations of torments, just as robbers and thieves and malefactors are put to examination and tortured: Gregory says: "Punishment examines whether one loves the truth when at peace." You condemned, because through scourges they were not amended but made worse: Ezekiel 24: "Much labor was sweated, and its excessive rust did not come out of it, not even by fire"; likewise Jeremiah 6: "Call them rejected silver, because the Lord has cast them away."”
