10. When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. Having resolved to hate him, everything he did was made a fresh reason
for reviling. If he ate and drank as others, he was a man gluttonous and a
wine-bibber; if he wept himself away and wore himself out with fasting, then he
had a devil and was mad. Our Saviour wept much in secret for our sins, and no
doubt his private soul-chastenings on our behalf were very frequent.
