This Week's Quote - Jerome

“It is also well said by the prophet: ‘And the Lord shall lay waste the tongue of the Egyptian sea.’ For the ‘tongue of the sea’ is the knowledge of secular learning. But it is well called ‘the Egyptian sea,’ because it is darkened with the gloom of sin. The Lord, therefore, laid waste the tongue of the Egyptian sea, because by manifesting himself in the flesh, he destroyed the false wisdom of this world.”
- Jerome, c.400
