De civitate Dei (413 - 427) Augustine of Hippo |
| Quotation |
adtendat ergo et aspiciat salomonis domum plenam mulieribus alienigenis colentibus deos falsos et
ipsum ab eis regem aliquando sapientem in eandem idolatriam seductum atque deiectum; et non
audeat existimare deum uel hoc promisisse mendaciter uel talem salomonem domumque eius
futuram non potuisse praescire. |
| Translation |
Let him give heed, therefore, and behold the house of Solomon full of foreign women worshipping false gods, and the king himself, once wise, now seduced into the same idolatry by them, and cast down. And let him not venture to believe that God either promised falsely, or was unable to fore-know that Solomon and his house would become what they did. (Trans. Dyson) |
