Löydetty 2084 Tulokset: Sin
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)
Endlessly forgotten, wise man and fool alike, since to-morrow’s memory will be no longer than yesterday’s; wise man and fool alike doomed to death. (Ecclesiastes 2, 16)
Who wins God’s favour, has wisdom and skill for his reward, and pleasure too; it is the sinner that is doomed to hardship and to thankless care, hoarding and scraping, and all to enrich some heir God loves better! For him frustration, for him the labour lost. (Ecclesiastes 2, 26)
and I told myself that God would give judgement one day between the just and the sinners, and all things would reach their appointed end then.✻ (Ecclesiastes 3, 17)
Who has a right to tell us that the spirit of man mounts upwards, and the spirit of a beast sinks down to the depth? (Ecclesiastes 3, 21)
And this I have ascertained; death itself is not so cruel as woman’s heart that wheedles and beguiles, as woman’s clutches that release their captive never. God’s friends escape her; of sinners she makes an easy prey. (Ecclesiastes 7, 27)
Of this, beyond all else, I have satisfied myself; man’s nature was simple enough when God made him, and these endless questions are of his own devising. (Ecclesiastes 7, 30)
time brings every man his chance, be his business what it may, only this curse lies upon man, (Ecclesiastes 8, 6)
The breath of life man must resign at last; the day of his death he cannot determine; nor ever does war give release from service, nor sin discharge to the sinner. (Ecclesiastes 8, 8)
Because sentence is not pronounced upon the evil-doers without more ado, men are emboldened to live sinfully. (Ecclesiastes 8, 11)
And yet, though the sinner presume on the divine patience that has borne with a hundred misdeeds, I know well enough that blessings are for those who fear God, who fear his frown. (Ecclesiastes 8, 12)
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)
