What the Fathers say

Lamentations 2:5

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Here is bewailed the destruction of edifices relating to defense. About this idea three further aspects are expressed. First is touched upon the indignation of the Lord God. As asserted: "The Lord has become like an enemy." And Isaiah 63:10: "therefore he turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them." Also, Psalm 44:25: "For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our body cleaves to the ground."
