Bonaventure, on Wis 19:17

“For while the elements are changed in themselves, as in an instrument the sound of the quality is changed, yet all keep their sound: which may clearly be perceived by the very sight.”

“(Vers. 16.). But they were struck, namely the Egyptians, with blindness, namely corporeal, through the plague of darkness, of which Exodus ten; and spiritual, through the blinding of the mind, so that amid the scourges they became worse: Exodus seven: "The heart of Pharaoh was hardened," etc. As those, namely the unspeakable Sodomites, on account of their unspeakable sin, which they themselves committed: Romans one: "God delivered them over to shameful passions." At the doors of the just man, namely Lot, of whom Second Peter two: "In sight and hearing he was just." They, I say, when they were covered with sudden darkness, namely aorasia, or non-seeing, struck by the Angel, each one, namely of them, the passage of his door, namely Lot's, sought, and could not find it: whence Genesis nineteen: "Those who were outside they struck with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door."”
