Salmos 37:9

Nothing else is destroyed but that which is cut off from God. — NOTES ON THE PSALMS 36[37].9

Salmos 37:15

When one of the enemies approaches to wound you and you want to "turn his own sword back against his heart," according to the Scripture text, then do as we tell you. Distinguish within yourself the thought he has launched against you, as to what it is, how many elements it consists of and among these what sort of thing it is that most afflicts the mind.… As you engage in this careful examination, the thought will be destroyed and dissipate in its own consideration, and the demon will flee from you when your intellect has been raised to the heights by this knowledge. — ON THOUGHTS 19
