“"The wise women built up their homes." The church built its house with its patience and hope in Christ, that is, it has roused and restored those entering it with its doctrine and faith. "The foolish destroyed it with her own hand." This is the heresy which becomes the cause for their eternal death.”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON, FRAGMENT 14:1
