Löydetty 321 Tulokset: Persian Kings
Years passed, and God’s will was that Nehemias should come back, holding the Persian king’s warrant. Nehemias it was that had search made for the fire, and by the grandsons of those very priests that hid it; but they made report, fire they could find none, only a puddle of water.✻ (2 Maccabees 1, 20)
The news travelled, till the Persian king himself was told how water appeared where exiled priests had hidden the fire, how, with this water, Nehemias and his company had bathed the sacrifice. (2 Maccabees 1, 33)
With all this, dispositions Nehemias made, records Nehemias kept, are in full agreement. He it was founded a library, and there collected histories of king and prophet, and of David himself; dispatches, too, the kings had sent, and inventories of gifts made. (2 Maccabees 2, 13)
What, should those sacred ornaments, dedicated by kings and peoples for the more splendour and worthiness of it, be caught up in his impious hands, pawed and defiled by his touch? (2 Maccabees 5, 16)
And hereupon the King of all kings brought this guilty wretch into ill favour with his master Antiochus, who (upon Lysias’ averring, here was the true source of all their misadventures) would have him apprehended and put to death according to the custom of the place where they were quartered. (2 Maccabees 13, 4)
through me kings learn how to reign, law-givers how to lay down just decrees; (Proverbs 8, 15)
Kings are for honest talk; free-spoken is well loved. (Proverbs 16, 13)
High as heaven thou must look, deep as earth, ere the mind of kings shall be made known to thee. (Proverbs 25, 3)
Kings by justice or exaction make the fortunes of a state or mar them. (Proverbs 29, 4)
the lizard climbs high, and makes its home in the palaces of kings. (Proverbs 30, 28)
Wine was never made for kings, Lamuel, never for kings; carouse befits ill thy council-chamber. (Proverbs 31, 4)
A word, then, for kings’ ears to hear, kings’ hearts to heed; a message for you, rulers, wherever you be! (Wisdom of Solomon 6, 2)
