John Chrysostom
And I will reveal your shame. You have shown me the way. I long for affection, yet you reject love. Thus, I will respond like a jealous husband unwilling to chastise his wife for her disrespect, finding it hard to endure the situation with patience; he employs harsh words in confronting her, seeking to convey his frustration; ultimately surrendering to love, he refrains from punishment and limits himself to verbal rebukes; in a similar manner, so does God.
