Holy Scripture

Job 15:31

A church father on this verse
“Ver. 31. Let him not believe, being vainly deceived, that he is to be redeemed with any price. As often as we do alms after sin, we as it were pay a price for bad actions. Whence too it is said by the Prophet concerning him who doeth these things not, He will not give God his propitiation, nor the price of the redempt…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XII

In context

29Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: He shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.

30Neither shall he in anywise escape the darkness: Let the wind blast his blossom, And let his flower fall off.

— Job 15:31 —

32His harvest shall perish before the time, And his branch shall not flourish.

33And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, And let him fall as the blossom of the olive.
