Holy Scripture

Psalms 101:6

A church father on this verse
“And Jezebel was able to injure the most religious Naboth by her false accusations; but then it was the wicked and apostate Ahab who listened to her. But the most holy David, whose example you ought to follow, as all pray that you may, does not favor such people but was apt to turn away from them and avoid them, as rag…”

In context

4For my days have vanished like smoke, And my bones have been parched like a stick.

5I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

— Psalms 101:6 —

7I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;

8I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become As a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
