Expository Treatise Against the Jews

Hippolytus

Section 10

About this work

Author: Hippolytus

10. And again David, in the Psalms, says

with

respect

to

the

future

age

,

“

Then

shall

He

”

(

namely

Christ

)

“

speak

unto

them

in

His

wrath

,

and

vex

them

in

His

sore

displeasure

.

”

And

again

Solomon

says

concerning

Christ

and

the

Jews

,

that

“

when

the

righteous

shall

stand

in

great

boldness

before

the

face

of

such

as

have

afflicted

Him

,

and

made

no

account

of

His

words

,

when

they

see

it

they

shall

be

troubled

with

terrible

fear

,

and

shall

be

amazed

at

the

strangeness

of

His

salvation

;

and

they

,

repenting

and

groaning

for

anguish

of

spirit

,

shall

say

within

themselves

,

This

is

He

whom

we

had

sometimes

in

derision

and

a

proverb

of

reproach

;

we

fools

accounted

His

life

madness

,

and

His

end

to

be

without

honour

.

How

is

He

numbered

among

the

children

of

God

,

and

His

lot

is

among

the

saints

?

Therefore

have

we

erred

from

the

way

of

truth

,

and

the

light

of

righteousness

hath

not

shined

unto

us

,

and

the

sun

of

righteousness

rose

not

on

us

.

We

wearied

ourselves

in

the

way

of

wickedness

and

destruction

;

we

have

gone

through

deserts

where

there

lay

no

way

:

but

as

for

the

way

of

the

Lord

,

we

have

not

known

it

.

What

hath

our

pride

profited

us

?

all

those

things

are

passed

away

like

a

shadow

.
