They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

All Commentaries on Jeremiah 12:13 Go To Jeremiah 12

Jerome

AD 420

I beg you, therefore, and admonish you again and again: do not look to your military experience for a standard of clerical obligation.
