Ireneus (Orda)
At that time, he had become the subject of ridicule among the rudest of people, yet his faith in God transformed him; the outcome he faced was strikingly contrary to expectations.
They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened, and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
כְּפֶ֣רֶץ רָחָ֣ב יֶאֱתָ֑יוּ תַּ֥חַת שֹׁ֝אָ֗ה הִתְגַּלְגָּֽלוּ׃
