Holy Scripture
Psalms 65:9
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…”

10For thou, O God, hast proved us; Thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.
11Thou broughtest us into the snare; Thou laidest afflictions on our back.
