Ezequiel 44:3
Each one of us asks for "daily bread" and when asking for "daily bread" does not receive either the same bread or the same measure.

And if anyone is less pure, he eats the daily bread in another way. — HOMILIES ON EZEKIEL 14:3
Ezequiel 44:9
He is uncircumcised in heart who holds heretical views in his mind and arranges blasphemous assertions against knowledge of Christ in his heart. But he is circumcised in heart who guards the pure faith in sincerity of conscience, about whom it can be said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." — HOMILIES ON GENESIS 3:6
