The Fathers on this verse
St Ephrem the Syrian Ephraim Syrus: Fifteen Hymns For the Feast of the Epiphany, Hymn VIII
22. The Prophets have called the Most High a fire, “a devouring fire,” and “who can dwell with it?”, The People were not able to dwell in it; its might crushed the peoples and they were confounded. In it, with the unction ye have been anointed; ye have put Him on in the water; in the bread ye have eaten Him; in the wine ye have drunk Him; in the voice ye have heard Him; and in the eye of the mind ye have seen Him!
