What the Fathers say

Judges 16:21

Western Saints

Bonaventure

After the judgment of binding follows another judgment, namely the judgment of blinding, which is figured in the book of Judges, where it is said that the Philistines, when they had captured Samson, gouged out his eyes and made him grind at the mill. For from sin man has darkness in his mind, such that he considers nothing to be sin; he thinks light to be darkness and darkness to be light, because his spiritual eyes have been blinded.
