According to the allegory, every heretic writes injustice in order to deceive the poor and humble people, and to plunder widows and orphans. For indeed, the wealthy person, of whom we read: \"The redemption of the soul of a man is his own wealth\" (Prov. XIII, 8), does not endure threat, nor is he easily captured by them. But the poor person, who is humble and small among the people, is easily scandalized by them. Likewise, the widow who has lost her husband and the orphan who has lost his Creator, of whom it is written: \"You have forsaken God who begot you, and have forgotten the God who brought you up\" (Deut. XXXII, 18), are easily overthrown.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"1bf290410eec4a2be3cf8854f355f325ff2de2e2f5a4ee18a98151f2e8265a18","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":6955,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"b552651421e282e479129c0ba325494b6e9adeb8035e38e6b3f058298018ece8","translator":null,"work":null}
