“"Behold," [the psalmist] says, "people who separate themselves far from you [God] will perish." For every individual either unites or separates himself from your mercy by his deeds. The person who does things he fears will be discovered flees from God, just as the person who is protected by walls or surrounded by dark…”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Interrogation of Job and David, Book 3, Chapter XI
