The Confessions of St. Augustin In Thirteen Books

Chapter XXXVI.--The Seventh Day, Without Evening and Setting, the Image of Eternal Life and Rest in God.

51. But the seventh day is without any evening, nor hath it any setting, because Thou hast sanctified it to an everlasting continuance that that which Thou didst after Thy works, which were very good, resting on the seventh day, although in unbroken rest Thou madest them that the voice of Thy Book may speak beforehand unto us, that we also after our works (therefore very good, because Thou hast given them unto us) may repose in Thee also in the Sabbath of eternal life.

Bekenntnisse

36. Von dem siebenten Tage, dem kein Abend folgt.

Der siebente Tag aber hat keinen Abend und keinen Niedergang, weil du ihn geheiligt hast, auf daß er immerdar dauere. Wenn es daher heißt, du habest nach Erschaffung deiner sehr guten Werke, obwohl du sie in Ruhe geschaffen, am siebenten Tage geruht, so soll uns die Stimme deines Buches verkünden, daß auch wir nach unseren Werken, die nur deshalb, weil du sie uns verliehen, sehr gut sind, am Sabbate des ewigen Lebens in dir unsere Ruhe finden sollen.
