" [“Toil” is especially the sin of pride and wrath. This is clear from the word of Christ, Matt. 11:28-29: “Come to Me… and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Therefore those who are not lowly and not meek will find not rest but toil, as experience teaches. Therefore, because of these two the Jews are called a people that is “enemy and avenger” (Ps. 8:2), an avenger because of wrath, an enemy because of pride.] "
