Holy Scripture

Genesis 8:12

A church father on this verse
“The secular powers often and for a long time spare the wicked from corporal punishment and relieve some of them from their harassments, but the hearts of holy men never have any respite until the end of the world from the sinful conduct of men. It is thus we have the fulfillment of what the apostle said, as I cited it…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — LETTERS 248

In context

10And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.

11And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noah knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.

— Genesis 8:12 —

13And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noah, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noah opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

14And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.
