Moses says: “This people is
stiff-necked,” Exod. xxxiv. 9. and the Lord
says that the priest and the Levite passed by, and neither of them

robbers; S. Luke x. 31, 32. for they had
nothing to pour in, since if they had had oil they would have poured it
into their own wounds. But Isaiah declares: “They
cannot apply ointment nor oil nor bandage.” Isa. i. 6.
