Bonaventure, on Bar 2:18

“But the soul that is sorrowful for the greatness of evil she hath done, and goeth bowed down, and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul giveth glory and justice to thee the Lord.”

“No one rightly walks the path of virtue unless he renders the honor due to God: but he who vilifies himself for God's sake is the one who honors God. This is proved by what is said in Ecclesiasticus 3: Great is the power of God alone, and He is honored by the humble: and Baruch 2: The soul that is sorrowful over the greatness of evil and goes bowed down and feeble, and the failing eyes, and the hungering soul gives You glory and justice, O Lord.”
