Isaiah 28:15

Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

Cyril of Jerusalem

AD 386

When you renounce Satan, trampling underfoot every covenant with him, then you annul that ancient “league with hell,” and God’s paradise opens before you, that Eden, planted in the east, from which for his transgression our first father was banished. - "Catechetical Lectures 1.9"

Tertullian of Carthage

AD 220

What, then, are the burdens that he censures? None but those which they were accumulating of their own accord, when they taught for commandments the doctrines of men; for the sake of private advantage joining house to house, so as to deprive their neighbor of his own; cajoling the people, loving gifts, pursuing rewards, robbing the poor of the right of judgment, that they might have the widow for a prey and the fatherless for a spoil. Of these Isaiah also says, “woe to them that are strong in Jerusalem!” - "Against Marcion 4.27"

Verecundus of Junca

AD 552

“He has become my help and my protector unto salvation.” They are said to be helpers who grant us their cooperation through specific acts. Protectors, however, are those who defend us with their power. Protection can take a variety of forms. For some, God is a protection, but deception becomes a protection for others, who lie about themselves, as Isaiah said: “We have established deception as our hope, and we are protected by lies.” - "Commentary on the Canticle of Exodus 1.3"
