What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
669. Second, he sets out the execution of this counsel as to walking the way: who walk, which is deformed by contempt of divine counsel; who have not asked at my mouth, the prophet: if you will separate the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth (Jer 15:19), because you would not do what he said; and by trusting in human help, trusting in the shadow of Egypt: cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm (Jer 17:5).
Bonaventure
Scripture is the mouth of God. Hence Isaiah: "Woe to you who walk to go down into Egypt," that is, to secular sciences, "and have not asked at My mouth," that is, Sacred Scripture. We need not go down to other sciences in order to gain certainty before having had the witness on the mountain, that is, of Christ, Elias and Moses, meaning of the New Testament, of the Prophets and of the Law.
