What the Fathers say

Lamentations 3:13

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Here secondly the affliction of penalty says: "He drove into my heart." Namely, by which the luxury of a people is indicated. Then: "the arrows of his quiver." That is, difference of penalties issuing forth from his governance. As Job 30:11 states: "Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence."
