Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
Read Chapter 2
Jerome
AD 420
It is the virgin Mary of whom God by the mouth of Jeremiah speaks, saying, “Can a maid forget her ornaments or a bride her attire?” Concerning her we read of a great miracle in the same prophecy—that a woman should compass a man and that the Father of all things should be contained in a virgin’s womb. - "Against Jovinianus 1.32"
