Löydetty 505 Tulokset: Sheep And Cattle Of Abraham
Men will take to flight as deer or sheep would, with none to marshal them, each turning towards his own home, seeking refuge in his own country. (Isaiah 13, 14)
Meanwhile, the city that once was fortified must lie desolate, forsaken, that fair dwelling-place, abandoned, part of the wilderness; cattle will browse and lie down, and crop the tall bushes on it; (Isaiah 27, 10)
Here is a message to the race of Jacob from the Lord, that was Abraham’s deliverer: No longer shall Jacob be disappointed, no longer put to the blush. (Isaiah 29, 22)
What burden for the cattle-droves in the south? Here is a land of difficulty and danger, home of lion and lioness, of viper and flying serpent; and through it, goods piled on asses’ backs, treasures stored on the humps of camels, go men asking for help where help is none. (Isaiah 30, 6)
But thou, Israel, my servant, thou, Jacob, on whom my choice has fallen, art sprung from that Abraham, who was my friend; (Isaiah 41, 8)
Here is Bel fallen in pieces, Nabo shattered;✻ their idols a gazing-stock for wild beasts and cattle! Heavy enough the burden you had to carry; (Isaiah 46, 1)
of Abraham that begot you, of Sara that was your mother; he was a childless man when I called him, and blessed him, and granted him a posterity. (Isaiah 51, 2)
Strayed sheep all of us, each following his own path; and God laid on his shoulders our guilt, the guilt of us all. (Isaiah 53, 6)
A victim? Yet he himself bows to the stroke;✻ no word comes from him. Sheep led away to the slaughter-house, lamb that stands dumb while it is shorn; no word from him. (Isaiah 53, 7)
Yet, who is our father, Lord, if not thou? Let Abraham disown us, Israel disclaim his own blood, we are thy sons still; is it not thy boast of old, thou hast paid a price for us? (Isaiah 63, 16)
Flocks there shall be, folded on the Plain,✻ and cattle resting in the valley of Achor; of my people none shall be disappointed that had recourse to me. (Isaiah 65, 10)
To the rest it is all one; slaughter they an ox, or murder a human victim,✻ cut sheep’s throat, or dash out a dog’s brains, make offering of meal, or of swine’s blood, in my honour burn incense, or bless the name of a false god. In all this, it is but caprice guides their choice, in all manner of abominations; (Isaiah 66, 3)
