Lamentations 5:22

A church father on this verse
“Finally, is considered the need for praying. As stated: "Or hast thou utterly rejected us? Art thou exceedingly angry with us?" And as Jeremiah elsewhere states: "Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? Does thy soul loath Zion? Why hast thou smitten us so that there is no healing for us?" (Jer 14:19).”
Thomas Aquinas, 13th c. — Commentary on Lamentations
