Holy Scripture
Lamentations 3:14
A church father on this verse
“Third, the delusion of those persons punished is exposed: "I have become the laughing stock of all peoples, the burden of their songs all day long." As elsewhere said: "I have become a laughing stock all the day; every one mocks me." (Jeremiah 20:7). That is, just as people are accustomed to be derided by others.”

In context
12He has bent his bow, And set me as a mark for the arrow.
13He has caused the arrows of his quiver To enter into my reins.
— Lamentations 3:14 —
15He has filled me with bitterness, He has drenched me with gall.
16And he has dashed out my teeth with gravel, He has fed me with ashes.
