294:1
V ers. 20. In fame eruet te de morte, et in bello de manu gladii. 44. Deus dum verbi sui pabulo mentes reficit, con- tra tentationes fortes reddit. Sicut fames carnis est subtractum subsidium corporis, ita fames mentis est silentium divinae locutionis. Unde recte per pro- phetam dicitur: Emittam famem in terram, non fa- mem panis, neque sitim aquae, sed famem audiendi verbum Dei ( Amos viii, 11). Et quia humanam men- tem cum divina allocutio deserit, contra eam tenta- tio carnis invalescit, apte subjungitur: Et in bello de manu gladii. Bellum quippe patimur, cum carnis nostrae tentationibus impugnamur; de quo nimirum bello per Psalmistam dicitur: a Obumbra caput meum in die belli ( Psal.
Verse 20. — In famine he shall rescue thee from death, and in war from the hand of the sword. 44. God, while he refreshes minds with the food of his word, renders them strong against temptations. As the famine of the flesh is the subsistence of the body withdrawn, so the famine of the mind is the silence of the divine speech. Whence rightly it is said through the prophet: I will send a famine into the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but a famine of hearing the word of God (Amos viii, 11). And because, when the divine address deserts the human mind, the temptation of the flesh grows strong against it, fitly it is subjoined: And in war from the hand of the sword. For we suffer war when we are assailed by the temptations of our flesh; of which war indeed it is said through the Psalmist: Overshadow my head in the day of battle (Psalm).
第20節。——在饑荒中祂必救你脫離死亡，在戰爭中脫離刀的手。第44段。天主藉祂話語的糧食滋養人心，就使人堅強以抵擋試探。正如肉體的饑荒是身體維生之物被撤去，心靈的饑荒也就是天主話語的緘默。故此藉先知恰當地說：我必使饑荒臨到那地，不是缺糧的饑荒，也不是缺水的乾渴，而是聽不到天主話語的饑荒（《亞毛斯》八章11節）。又因為當天主的言語離棄人心時，肉體的試探便對它強盛起來，所以恰當地接著說：在戰爭中脫離刀的手。因為當我們被自己肉體的試探攻擊時，我們就遭受戰爭；論到這戰爭，詩人確實說：在爭戰之日，遮蔽我的頭（《詩篇》）。
294:2
cxxxix, 3). Quia igitur reprobi dum fame verbi Dei deficiunt, etiam belli gladio transfiguntur; electos suos Dominus et in fame a morte eripit, et in bello a gladio abscondit, quia eo- rum mentes dum verbi sui pabulo reficit, contra tentationes corporis fortes reddit. Sed sunt nonnulli qui etsi ex divino eloquio ab interna se fame refi- ciunt, si jam b contra tentationes corporis continen- tiae virtute fulciuntur, adhuc tamen percuti humanis detractionibus metuunt, et saepe dum linguarum ja- cula formidant, peccati se laqueo strangulant. Unde et apte subditur:
(cxxxix, 3). Since therefore the reprobate, while they fail through famine of the word of God, are also transfixed by the sword of war; the Lord both snatches his elect from death in famine, and hides them from the sword in war, because, while he refreshes their minds with the food of his word, he renders them strong against the temptations of the body. But there are some who, though from the divine utterance they refresh themselves from inward famine, though they are now upheld by the virtue of continence against the temptations of the body, yet still fear to be smitten by human detractions, and often, while they dread the javelins of tongues, they strangle themselves in the noose of sin. Whence too it is fitly subjoined:
（一百三十九篇3節）。所以，既然被棄者因天主話語的饑荒而衰敗、也被戰爭的刀所刺透；主便既在饑荒中把祂的選民從死亡中奪出，又在戰爭中把他們從刀下藏起，因為當祂用祂話語的糧食滋養他們的心思時，就使他們堅強以抵擋身體的試探。但有些人，雖然從天主的言語中得餵養以脫離內在的饑荒，雖然如今被節制之德所扶持以抵擋身體的試探，卻仍懼怕被人的毀謗所擊打，並且往往當他們畏懼舌頭的標槍時，就用罪的圈套勒死自己。因此又恰當地接著說：
