Isaiah 42:14
Douay-Rheims
I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
Augustine of Hippo
"Sweet and righteous is the Lord." You love [him] because he is sweet. You fear [him] because he is righteous. In a gentle voice, he said, "I have kept silence." But as a just person, "shall I always be silent?" "A Lord compassionate and merciful." Yes, indeed. Yet add, patient; yet add, and very compassionate.
