Holy Scripture
Lamentations 5:20
A church father on this verse
“Then, there is a wondered indignation. As said: "Why dost thou forget us forever, why dost thou so long forsake us?" Just as the prophet Isaiah 49:15 exclaims: "Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?"”
