Löydetty 994 Tulokset: Dead Animal Found
A weak, foolish thing, and for health he asks it; dead, and he will have life of it; shiftless, and he will have aid of it. (Wisdom of Solomon 13, 18)
Here was some father, bowed with sorrow before his time, his child untimely lost; the likeness of those features once made, to mortal man (that was dead besides) he would pay divine honours, and with that, rites of initiation must become the tradition of his clan. (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 15)
And no marvel; what hurt should they take from the oath falsely sworn, since all their faith is in dead gods? (Wisdom of Solomon 14, 29)
vain his impiety, since he is but mortal, they already dead; better he than they, since he lived once, and they never. (Wisdom of Solomon 15, 17)
Bite of locust or sting of fly was the undoing of them; no salve could be found against the mortal punishment they had deserved. (Wisdom of Solomon 16, 9)
A peerless champion they found, in Aaron, that quickly took up the shield of his appointed ministry; the power of intercession that was his, and the atoning incense, held thy wrath in check, and brought the calamity to an end; none could doubt now he was the man of thy choice! (Wisdom of Solomon 18, 21)
Already the corpses were piled thick one on another; but he kept vengeance at bay, standing in between to breach the path between dead and living. (Wisdom of Solomon 18, 23)
The business of mourning still in hand, the grave-sides of the dead still calling for their tears, they must needs betake themselves to a fresh desperate shift; they would hunt down as fugitives the unwelcome guests of yesterday. (Wisdom of Solomon 19, 3)
PREFACE: Many are the important truths conveyed to us by the law, by the prophets and by those other writers who have followed them. Israel must be given credit for its own philosophical tradition, suited not only to instruct those who talk its language, but to reach, in spoken or written form, the outside world too, and bring it great enlightenment. No wonder if my own grandfather, Jesus, who had devoted himself to the careful study of the law, the prophets, and our other ancestral records, had a mind to put something in writing himself that should bear on this philosophical tradition, to claim the attention of eager students who had already mastered it, and to encourage their observance of the law. I must beg its readers to come well-disposed to their task, and to follow me closely, making allowances for me wherever I seem to have failed in the right marshalling of words, as I pass on wisdom at second hand. Hebrew words lose their force when they are translated into another language; moreover, when the Hebrews read out the law, the prophets, and the other books among themselves, they read them out in a greatly different form. It was in my thirty-eighth year,✻ in the reign of Euergetes, that I went to Egypt and spent some time there. When I found writings preserved there which were of high doctrinal value, it seemed to me right and fitting that I, too, should be at some pains; I would set about translating this book. Learning I gave to the task and long labour, and so brought it to an end; and so I offer the book to all who are ready to apply their minds to it, and learn how a man must frame his conduct if he would live by the divine law. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 0)
Held fast to his commandments, and was forsaken, prayed to him, and found the prayer unregarded? (Ecclesiasticus 2, 12)
Wherever choice souls are found, wisdom is the mother of them; all submissiveness and love their breed is. (Ecclesiasticus 3, 1)
Turn not with every wind, nor walk in every way that offers; that sinners do, till their hypocrisy is found out. (Ecclesiasticus 5, 11)
