Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 2:15 Go To Song of Songs 2
Bede
AD 735
This animal, which is very shrewd with respect to deceit and craftiness, represents the Jews, Gentiles and heretics, who are always plotting against the church of God, and, as it were, continuously making a racket with their babbling voices. Concerning them the command is given to the guardians of the church: “Catch for us the tiny foxes which are wrecking the vineyards.”
