Rich more pitiable; empty study; diaspora exits
For the poor who are mistreated are not so pitiable. And Paul also laments these, saying “of whom is the adoption and the glory.” (Lamentations 4:5) For now meditating empty things they do not delight in Moses and the prophets—“delight in the Lord.” (Romans 9:4) For there is no one baking the nourishing word for them, nor do they share in the fatted calf though themselves having sacrificed. And he calls exits the dispersions, or also the turnings-aside of the legal writings (Psalm 37:4) (Luke 15:23).

Klagel. Jerem. 4, 5. Οὐ γὰρ τοσοῦτον ἐλεεινὸν οἱ πένητες οἱ κακούμενοι. τούτους δὲ θρηνεῖ καὶ Παῦλος, «ὡν ἡ υἱοθεσία« λέγων «καὶ ἡ δόξα. κενα γὰρ νῦν μελετῶντες οὐκ ἐντρυφῶσι Μωδρῖ τε καὶ τοῖς προφήταις, τὸ «κατατρύφησον τῷ κυρίῳ. ούδεὶς γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὁ πέττων τὸν τρόφιμον λόγον, οὐδὲ τοῦ σιτευτοῦ μεταλαμβάνουσι μόσχου καίπερ αὐτοὶ τεθυκότες. διεξόδους δὲ καλεῖ τὰς διασπορὰς ἢ καὶ τὰς τῶν νομικῶν γραμμάτων παρατροπάς.
