this vile Jason it was sent some of his wretches✻ with a gift of three hundred silver pieces to do honour to Hercules. True it is, the bearers of them asked they should not be spent on sacrifice, but on some other need that was more befitting; (2 Maccabees 4, 19)
but he thought rather of the reverence that was due to his great age, of his venerable grey hairs, of a life blamelessly lived from childhood onwards. True to the precepts of God’s holy law, he answered that they would do better to send him to his grave and have done with it. (2 Maccabees 6, 23)

It was this Nicanor that received information against one of the elders at Jerusalem, named Razias, a true patriot and a man of good repute; for the love he bore it, men called him the father of the Jewish people. (2 Maccabees 14, 37)
for the better understanding of true wisdom, and self-command. (Proverbs 1, 2)
True wisdom is founded on the fear of the Lord; who but a fool would despise such wisdom, and the lessons she teaches? (Proverbs 1, 7)
Wisdom is the Lord’s gift; only by his word spoken comes true knowledge, true discernment. (Proverbs 2, 6)
