Prov. xxiv. 32, Sept. Heb. “Set my
heart.” The passage has no reference to repentance:
it means, “I considered the field of the slothful.”
Hilary, Ps. lii.; Ambrose, Apolog. 1, Prophetæ
David, c. iii. and other Fathers affirm the repentance of
Solomon. Augustine (c. Faustum, Lib. xxii. c. 88)
maintains that Scripture says nothing of his repentance or
forgiveness. See Dante, Paradiso, Canto x. 109.
