“The cedar is at times praised by Scripture as a stable tree, free from decay, fragrant, and adequate for supplying shelter, but at times it is attacked as unfruitful and hard to bend, so that it offers a representation of impiety.… The Lord is said to break those vainly puffed up and magnifying themselves in the thing…”
Basil of Caesarea, 4th c. — HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 13:5 (PS 29)
