Fragments on the Psalms (Greek) · §46

Psalm 9:18 — let sinners be turned back into Hades; to see Jesus’ soul descending and ascending

“Let sinners be turned back into Hades, all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:18).

Sinners are turned back into Hades, so that they might see Jesus' soul descending and ascendingwho expected it were looking as it were outside, first the sinners in us, then the nations.

Why did the nations forget the Lord? For forgetfulness is second to knowledge; therefore from this also is clear: “I planted you a fruit-bearing vine, all true; How did you turn into bitterness, the alien vine?” (Jeremiah 2:21).

9.18 ̓Αποστραφήτωσαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾳ δην, πάντα τὰ ε θνη τὰ ἐπιλαν θανόμενα τοῦ Θεοῦ. ̓Αποστρέφονται οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ εἰς τὸν ᾳ δην, ι να ι δωσιν τὴν ̓Ιησοῦ ψυχὴν καταβαί νουσαν καὶ ἀναβαίνουσαν. Οἱ γὰρ προσδο κήσαντες αὐτὴν ὡσπερεὶ ε ξω ε βλεπον, πρῶ τον μὲν οἱ ἐν ἡμῖν ἁμαρτωλοὶ, ει τα τὰ ε θνη. –Τί ἐπελάθετο τὰ ε θνη τὸν Κύριον; ἡ γὰρ λήθη δευτέρα γνώσεως· οὐκοῦν ἐντεῦθεν σαφὲς καὶ τό· ̓Εγὼ ἐφύτευσά σε α μπελον καρποφόρον, πᾶσαν ἀληθινήν· Πῶς ἐστρά φης εἰς πικρίαν, ἡ α μπελος ἡ ἀλλοτρία;
