Τὰς μὲν οὖν καμήλους πεποίηκε γενέσθαι ὑπὸ τοὺς ἱππεῖς· τὰς ὄνους δὲ καὶ τὰ ζεύγη τῶν βοῶν ὑπὸ τοὺς αἰχμαλωτίζοντας· τὰ πρόβατα δὲ ἐμίσει· διὰ τοῦτο πῦρ ἐπʼ αὐτὰ κατήγαγεν· ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς ἐπεβούλευε, καὶ καιρὸν ἐζήτει τοῦ αὐτοὺς ἀπολέσαι. Εἰ εὑρήκει ἀναγινώσκοντας, οὐκ ἂν ἥψατο τῆς οἰκίας, οὐδὲ τόπον εἶχε τοῦ αὐτοὺς ἀποκτεῖναι· εἰ εὑρήκει προσευχομένους, οὐδὲν ἐδύνατο ποιῆσαι κατʼ αὐτῶν· ἀλλʼ ὅτε εὖρεν εὐκαιρίαν, ἴσχυσε. Ποῖος ἦν ὁ καιρός; μέθη ἦν, συμπόσιον ἦν. Τῷ δὲ τῶν γωνιῶν ἅψασθαι τὸ πνεῦμα, ἐπίστησον, ὅτι ἐν ταῖς τῶν γωνιῶν πλατείαις (16·) οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ἑστῶτες προσεύχονται· πᾶς δὲ ὁ μὴ ἐπιβεβηκὼς εὐθείας ὀδοῦ ταῖς γωνίαις κέχρηται· πλατεῖα δὲ γωνία ἐστὶν ἡ πολλὴ καὶ ἀνειμένη κακία.","divisions":[{"label":"ΚΕΦ.
