Löydetty 973 Tulokset: Age

  • For when the terrible rage of wild beasts came upon thy people and they were being destroyed by the bites of writhing serpents, thy wrath did not continue to the end; (Wisdom of Solomon 16, 5)

  • or the harsh crash of rocks hurled down, or the unseen running of leaping animals, or the sound of the most savage roaring beasts, or an echo thrown back from a hollow of the mountains, it paralyzed them with terror. (Wisdom of Solomon 17, 19)

  • For the whole world was illumined with brilliant light, and was engaged in unhindered work, (Wisdom of Solomon 17, 20)

  • while over those men alone heavy night was spread, an image of the darkness that was destined to receive them; but still heavier than darkness were they to themselves. (Wisdom of Solomon 17, 21)

  • You are urged therefore to read with good will and attention, and to be indulgent in cases where, despite out diligent labor in translating, we may seem to have rendered some phrases imperfectly. For what was originally expressed in Hebrew does not have exactly the same sense when translated into another language. Not only this work, but even the law itself, the prophecies, and the rest of the books differ not a little as originally expressed. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 15)

  • O son, help your father in his old age, and do not grieve him as long as he lives; (Ecclesiasticus 4, 12)

  • Give a daughter in marriage; you will have finished a great task. But give her to a man of understanding. (Ecclesiasticus 8, 25)

  • Do not slight the discourse of the sages, but busy yourself with their maxims; because from them you will gain instruction and learn how to serve great men. (Ecclesiasticus 9, 8)

  • Do not disregard the discourse of the aged, for they themselves learned from their fathers; because from them you will gain understanding and learn how to give an answer in time of need. (Ecclesiasticus 9, 9)

  • Forsake not an old friend, for a new one does not compare with him. A new friend is like new wine; when it has aged you will drink it with pleasure. (Ecclesiasticus 10, 10)

  • Arrogance is hateful before the Lord and before men, and injustice is outrageous to both. (Ecclesiasticus 11, 7)

  • Like a decoy partridge in a cage, so is the mind of a proud man, and like a spy he observes your weakness; (Ecclesiasticus 12, 30)
