Bonaventure, on Wis 16:23

“But this same again, that the just might be nourished, did even forget its own strength.”

“But this again etc. It should be known that the word this can be of the ablative case, so that it is expounded thus: this, for this reason; or of the nominative, so that it is read thus: but this again, supply: was done, so that the just might be nourished, namely the children of Israel. The fire also forgot its own power, namely by not destroying the fruits of the land of the just, as is clear from Exodus nine, where it is read that "only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, the hail did not fall." So also the fire forgot the force of its power when it did not harm the three just youths in the furnace, as is clear from Daniel three.”
