“Ver. 6. Thine own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips shall answer thee. For because they suppose that the evils of adversity break out in consequence of the erroneousness of confession; they say that 'her own lips shall answer her,' so that fault of utterances should be the cause of the scourge.…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XII
