Holy Scripture
Lamentations 5:12
A church father on this verse
“"Princes are hung up by their hands; no respect is shown to the elders." That is, as if upon a hook, so as displaying their riches. As Deuteronomy 28:49-50 states: "The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you do not understand,…”

In context
10Our skin is blackened like an oven; They are convulsed, because of the storms of famine.
11They humbled the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
— Lamentations 5:12 —
13The chosen men lifted up the voice in weeping, And the youths fainted under the wood.
14And the elders ceased from the gate, The chosen men ceased from their music.
