“"But now they make sport of me, those who are younger than I." These words testify to the authority, power and grace that, as he has asserted, he used to own in his previous days. The more favorable his state of former happiness had been, the more bitter now it makes his feeling of pain after turning into misfortune."…”
Julian of Eclanum, 5th c. — EXPOSITION ON THE BOOK OF JOB 30:1
