Löydetty 2053 Tulokset: King Solomon
Gold and silver I amassed, revenues of subject king and subject province; men-singers I had and women-singers, and all that man delights in; beakers a many, and jars of wine to fill them.✻ (Ecclesiastes 2, 8)
Then my mind went back to the thought of wisdom, of ignorance, too, and folly. What (thought I), should mortal king strive to imitate the sovereign power that made him?✻ (Ecclesiastes 2, 12)
There is more hope for a wise servant✻ that is in hard straits, than for a dotard king that foresight has none. (Ecclesiastes 4, 13)
I have seen the whole world, from east to west, take part with the young man, the usurper that rises in the old king’s stead. (Ecclesiastes 4, 15)
The old king, that had an immemorial line of ancestors;✻ and now posterity shall take no pride in him! All is frustration, and labour lost. (Ecclesiastes 4, 16)
and, above them all, the King of the whole earth rules it as his dominion.✻ (Ecclesiastes 5, 8)
Mine to do a king’s bidding, to hold fast by an oath taken in the name of God. (Ecclesiastes 8, 2)
There was a small city once, with few men to hold it; and there was a great king that marched out against it, raised a mound and ringed it with siege-works, till it was beleaguered on every side. (Ecclesiastes 9, 14)
A wise man’s whisper carries further than great outcry from a king of fools. (Ecclesiastes 9, 17)
And happy the land whose king is of true princely breed, whose courtiers feast when feast should be, to comfort their hearts, not all in revelry. (Ecclesiastes 10, 17)
Of the king, no treasonable thought; of the nobles, no ill word even in thy bed-chamber; the very birds in heaven will catch the echoes of it, and fly off to betray thy secret. (Ecclesiastes 10, 20)
Draw me after thee where thou wilt; see, we hasten after thee, by the very fragrance of those perfumes allured! To his own bower the king has brought me; he is our pride and boast, on his embrace, more ravishing than wine, our thoughts shall linger. They love truly that know thy love. (Song of Solomon 1, 3)
