Holy Scripture

Lamentations 3:48

A church father on this verse
“Differently to be admonished are those who deplore sins of deed, and those who deplore sins of thought. For those who deplore sins of deed are to be admonished that perfected lamentations should wash out consummated evils, lest they be bound by a greater debt of perpetrated deed than they pay in tears of satisfaction…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — The Book of Pastoral Rule, Part 3, Chapter 29

49Mine eye is drowned with tears, And I will not be silent, So that there shall be no rest,

50Until the Lord look down, And behold from heaven.
