Löydetty 4578 Tulokset: God
Never a blessing for sinners; never be it said they lived out their full span of days! Reckless of God’s frown, see, they pass like a shadow, and are gone! (Ecclesiastes 8, 13)
For me, then, mirth! No higher blessing could man attain, here under the sun, than to eat and drink and make merry; nothing else had he to show for all those labours of his, for all that life-time God has given him, here under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 8, 15)
Nay, I understood too well that God’s dealings with man, here under the sun, are past all accounting for; the more a man labours to read that riddle, the less he finds out, and he least of all, that boasts himself wise in the reading of it. (Ecclesiastes 8, 17)
All this, too, I pondered in my heart, and would spare no pains to find out the meaning of it. Here are upright men and wise; and every task of theirs is in God’s keeping, nor can any tell whether they have earned his love, or his displeasure! (Ecclesiastes 9, 1)
This remains as yet uncertain, and meanwhile all have the same lot, upright and godless, good and wicked, clean and unclean alike. Brought they offerings or brought they none, well did they or ill, true swore they or false, it is all one. (Ecclesiastes 9, 2)
Go thy ways, then, eat thy bread with a stout heart, and drink wine to thy contenting; that done, God asks no more of thee. (Ecclesiastes 9, 7)
Breath that comes and goes, the fashioning of man’s frame in the womb, of all this thou knowest nothing; and thinkest thou to understand God’s doings, that is Maker of all? (Ecclesiastes 11, 5)
While thou art young, take thy fill of manhood’s pride, let thy heart beat high with youth, follow where thought leads and inclination beckons, but remember that for all this God will call thee to account. (Ecclesiastes 11, 9)
with that, back goes dust to its parent earth, and the spirit✻ returns to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12, 7)
Conclude we then thus in general; Fear God, and keep his commandments; this is the whole meaning of man. (Ecclesiastes 12, 13)
No act of thine but God will bring it under his scrutiny, deep beyond all thy knowing, and pronounce it good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12, 14)
Listen, all you who are judges here on earth. Learn to love justice; learn to think high thoughts of what God is, and with sincere hearts aspire to him. (Wisdom of Solomon 1, 1)
