Holy Scripture

Job 6:21

A church father on this verse
“For now ye are come, to see my stroke, and are afraid. As though he said in plain words, 'I feared God then, when, buoyed up with prosperity, I felt no hurts of the scourge. But ye, who fear not God from love, dread Him from the stroke of the rod alone.”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book VII

20They too that trust in cities and riches Shall come to shame.

— Job 6:21 —

22What? have I made any demand of you? Or do I ask for strength from you,

23To deliver me from enemies, Or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?
