Holy Scripture
Psalms 68:22
A church father on this verse
“The Lord has said, From Basan I will turn back: that is, from the confusion of this world I will turn back the human race; that is, through my passion and cross, which these people think foolishness and confusion, I will turn back my people. Since indeed Basan is interpreted "confusion." I will turn back in the depths…”

In context
20For thou knowest my reproach, And my shame, and my confusion; All that afflict me are before thee.
21My soul has waited for reproach and misery; And I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; And for one to comfort me, but I found none.
— Psalms 68:22 —
23Let their table before them be for a snare, And for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.
24Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; And bow down their back continually.
