Holy Scripture
Psalms 65:10
A church father on this verse
“Only let us recognize the purpose of the evil. Why have the crops withered, our storehouses been emptied, the pastures of our flocks failed, the fruits of the earth been withheld and the plains been filled with shame instead of such fatness? Why have valleys lamented and not abounded in corn, the mountains not dropped…”

8Bless our God, ye Gentiles, And make the voice of his praise to be heard;
9Who quickens my soul in life, And does not suffer my feet to be moved.
— Psalms 65:10 —
11Thou broughtest us into the snare; Thou laidest afflictions on our back.
12Thou didst mount men upon our heads; We went through fire and water; But thou broughtest us out into a place of refreshment.
