Indeed, it is late, but I wish it were a true confession! After the sin, you confess what you should have guarded against before the sin. How quickly you had forgotten: Remember me. You certainly know that at that time this was the discourse: but you had deaf ears due to the pride of power, and being drunk with wine, you did not hear the words of sobriety.

So when all the wise men arrived and were unable to say anything or even open their mouths, then the chief cupbearer's memory returned, and he informed Pharaoh of what had happened to him, saying, \"Today I'm going to bring to light my fault.\"<br/><i>— HOMILIES ON Genesis 63.13</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"a05534a78ea4bb2b83a5b6767318ef34597fb26012714b317865afda5c1842be","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":6169,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"f17281ee53a28db927fca4c043126c531c29e041dc818e0ab29528e93a1cd437","translator":null,"work":null}
