Löydetty 1207 Tulokset: Nations Of The Earth
If then thrones and sceptres delight you, monarchs of the nations, honour Wisdom, so that you may reign for ever. (Wisdom of Solomon 6, 21)
I too am mortal like everyone else, a descendant of the first man formed from the earth. I was modelled in flesh inside a mother's womb, (Wisdom of Solomon 7, 1)
I shall govern peoples, and nations will be subject to me; (Wisdom of Solomon 8, 14)
It is hard enough for us to work out what is on earth, laborious to know what lies within our reach; who, then, can discover what is in the heavens? (Wisdom of Solomon 9, 16)
Thus have the paths of those on earth been straightened and people have been taught what pleases you, and have been saved, by Wisdom.' (Wisdom of Solomon 9, 18)
When because of him the earth was drowned, it was Wisdom again who saved it, piloting the upright man on valueless timber. (Wisdom of Solomon 10, 4)
Again, when, concurring in wickedness, the nations had been thrown into confusion, she singled out the upright man, preserved him blameless before God and fortified him against pity for his child. (Wisdom of Solomon 10, 5)
For who is there to ask, 'What have you done?' Or who is there to disagree with your sentence? Who to arraign you for destroying nations which you have created? Who to confront you by championing the wicked? (Wisdom of Solomon 12, 12)
Hence even the idols of the nations will have a visitation since, in God's creation, they have become an abomination, a scandal for human souls, a snare for the feet of the foolish. (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 11)
Take a potter, now, laboriously working the soft earth, shaping each object for us to use. Out of the self-same clay, he models vessels intended for a noble use and those for a contrary purpose, all alike: but which of these two uses each will have is for the potter himself to decide. (Wisdom of Solomon 15, 7)
Then -- ill -- spent effort!-from the same clay he models a futile god, although so recently made out of earth himself and shortly to return to what he was taken from, when asked to give back the soul that has been lent to him. (Wisdom of Solomon 15, 8)
Ashes, his heart; more vile than earth, his hope; more wretched than clay, his life! (Wisdom of Solomon 15, 10)
