“Illi enim succedit nox ; sapientiam autem non vincit malitia.”
“For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.”
“For to the light of day succeedeth night, But against wisdom evil does not prevail;”
Evil. Or disgrace. (Grotius) — The brightest days are succeeded by night. The divine wisdom never fails, though that of man is subject to change, as Solomon has taught us by his own woeful example. (Calmet)
