14 και ειπα μηδαμως κυριε θεε του ισραηλ ιδου η ψυχη μου ου μεμιανται εν ακαθαρσια και θνησιμαιον και θηριαλωτον ου βεβρωκα απο γενεσεως μου εως του νυν ουδε εισεληλυθεν εις το στομα μου παν κρεας εωλον

On the Athanasian Creed #165

165. What it is to carry iniquities: - 1. It is to sustain all the hells, by temptations; 2. So that in Him might be represented the state of the Church, as in the case of the prophet 1 who was to take a harlot to wife, [the prophet] 2 who was to go naked and barefoot, [the prophet] 3 who was to eat a cake made from dung, and was to lie on the right side and the left, and carry iniquities. So it was with the Lord in the particulars of His passion.
