Holy Scripture
Psalms 136:7
A church father on this verse
“Who made the great lights. According to the letter he speaks of the stars. Although we behold them as small, yet they are great. For just as with us, if we climb a high mountain, and see a man in the valley below, he seems to us as if something small: so also the stars are great, but from their height they seem small…”

5If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.
6May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember thee; If I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.
— Psalms 136:7 —
8Wretched daughter of Babylon! Blessed shall he be who shall reward thee as thou hast rewarded us.
9Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock.
