Help with Latin

delete12066188

Hey everyone

Could some of the Latin Speakers help me out with this Text from Ambrose?

Quid enim est quod haec vita delectet, plena aerumnarum et sollicitudinum? In qua innumerae calumniae, et multae molestiae, et multae lacrymae eorum qui afflictantur molestiis, et non est, inquit (Thren. I, 2), qui eos consoletur.

Thren. I, 2 what Vers is this from?

Thanks

Sascha

Good morning!

Thren. 1, 2 is referencing Lamentations chapter 1 verse 2.

EDIT: In case I misunderstood the question, your quote is from chapter 2 verse 4 of Death as a Good.

EDIT #2: Interestingly, the book Seven Exegetical Works (The Fathers of the Church, Volume 65), references Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 1 which seems to be in keeping with the other Ecclesiastes references in verse 4 of Death as a Good.
