Pagdurusahan ng Samaria ang kanyang pagkakasala, sapagkat naghimagsik siya laban sa kanyang Diyos; sa tabak sila mabubuwal, ang kanilang mga sanggol ay dudurugin, at ang kanyang mga babaeng nagdadalang-tao ay lalaslasin.
The Improvement of the Moral Qualities
As to the quality of penitence, the reason for referring it to (the sense of) taste is that contrition and penitence are felt for what has gone before, and one denies himself different kinds of enjoyment, which are rendered possible by means of the taste, as it is said (Hos. xiv. i), "O Israel, return." The attributing also of the quality of tranquility to (the sense of) taste is seen in the saying of Sennecharib (II. Kings xviii. 31), "Eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig-tree;" and again (Jud. xviii. 7), "And they saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt in safety."
