191:1
V ers. 5.— Obscurent eum tenebroe et umbra mortis. 9. Diabolum erroris coecitas sic obruit, ut ad poeni- tentioe lucem non sit resurrecturus. — Per umbram mortis, oblivio debet intelligi; quia sicut mors inte- rimit vitam, ita oblivio exstinguit memoriam. Quia ergo apostata angelus aeternae oblivioni traditur, um- bra mortis obscuratur. Dicatur igitur: Obscurent eum tenebroe et umbra mortis; id est, sic eum erroris sui caecitas obruat, ut nequaquam ulterius ad lucem poenitentiae per divini respectus memoriam resurgat. Sequitur:
第五節。「願黑暗和死蔭遮蔽它。」九、錯謬的盲目如此淹沒魔鬼，使他不再復起到悔改之光。「死蔭」應當理解為遺忘；因為正如死亡奪去生命，遺忘也熄滅記憶。因此，既然叛逆的天使被交付於永遠的遺忘，他就被死蔭所遮蔽。故此可說：「願黑暗和死蔭遮蔽它」；就是說，願他自己錯謬的盲目如此淹沒他，使他再也不能藉著神眷顧的記憶而復起到悔改之光。接著說：
Verse 5. 'Let darkness and the shadow of death overshadow it.' 9. The blindness of error so overwhelms the devil that he will not rise again to the light of repentance. By the shadow of death, forgetfulness ought to be understood; for just as death cuts off life, so forgetfulness extinguishes memory. Since, therefore, the apostate angel is handed over to eternal forgetfulness, he is darkened by the shadow of death. Let it therefore be said: 'Let darkness and the shadow of death overshadow it'; that is, let the blindness of his own error so overwhelm him that he may never again rise to the light of repentance through the remembrance of the divine regard. There follows:
