What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
I will teach you by the hand of God, that which is with the Almighty; I will not conceal. Behold, all ye yourselves know: why then do ye utter vain things without cause? This is the portion of an ungodly man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. In such a way does blessed Job speak in his own words as to denote something connected with what relates to us. For Holy Church in teaching, in so far as it is expedient to know it, hides not a particle of truth. …
Thomas Aquinas
Second, he shows that what he is about to say is so clear that even they cannot be ignorant of it, and so he says, "Behold all of you know," what I am about to say is true, and so it is strange that you speak so irrationally against the plain truth. He expresses this theme saying, "and why do you speak foolishness without proof," that is, things with no reasonable support? For men are dull when they know the premises, but usually do not perceive the conclusion which follows from them.
