Holy Scripture
Job 5:17
A church father on this verse
“Since holy Job was dejected because of the misfortunes that befell him against his hope, Eliphaz now says that after his calamity Job must not despair about God being propitious again. Indeed, the restraint of sin's dissoluteness through scourging testifies to the divine love. "How happy is the one whom God reproves."…”
