Holy Scripture

Job 36:21

A church father on this verse
“Decline not to iniquity; for thou hast begun to follow this after misery. Haughty men in truth call this the misery of the Church, because they suspect that its main body is despised by God: and they scorn it with loftier pride, the more they suspect that it is utterly despised by God.”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXVI
