drb@B804:19 @And they shall fall after this without honour, and be a reproach among the dead for ever: for he shall burst them puffed up and speechless, and shall shake them from the foundations, and they shall be utterly laid waste: they shall be in sorrow, and their memory shall perish.
drb@B806:24 @Now what wisdom is, and what was her origin, I will declare: and I will not hide from you the mysteries of God, but will seek her out from the beginning of her birth, and bring the knowledge of her to light, and will not pass over the truth:
drb@B807:1 @I myself also am a mortal man, like all others, and of the race of him, that was first made of the earth, and in the womb of my mother I was fashioned to be flesh.
drb@B807:2 @In the time of ten months I was compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure of sleep concurring.
drb@B807:3 @And being born I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, that is made alike, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
drb@B807:4 @I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and with great cares.
drb@B807:7 @Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me:
drb@B807:12 @And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all.
drb@B808:19 @And I was a witty child and had received a good soul.
drb@B808:20 @And whereas I was more good, I came to a body undefiled.
drb@B808:21 @And as I knew that I could not otherwise be continent, except God gave it, and this also was a point of wisdom, to know whose gift it was: I went to the Lord, and besought him, and said with my whole heart:
drb@B809:2 @And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee,
drb@B809:9 @And thy wisdom with thee, which knoweth thy works, which then also was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was agreeable to thy eyes, and what was right in thy commandments.
drb@B8010:1 @She preseved him, that was first formed by God the father of the world, when he was created alone,
drb@B8010:13 @She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit.
drb@B8010:17 @And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night:
drb@B8011:4 @They were thirsty, and they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the high rock, and a refreshment of their thirst out of the hard stone.
drb@B8011:9 @Shewing by the thirst that was then, how thou didst exalt thine, and didst kill their adversaries.
drb@B8011:14 @For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass.
drb@B8011:15 @For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just.
drb@B8011:18 @For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions,
drb@B8012:6 @And those parents sacrificing with their own hands helpless souls, it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our parents,
drb@B8012:8 @Yet even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and little.
drb@B8012:9 @Not that thou wast unable to bring the wicked under the just by war, or by cruel beasts, or with one rough word to destroy them at once:
drb@B8012:11 @For it was a cursed seed from the beginning: neither didst thou for fear of any one give pardon to their sins.
drb@B8013:1 @But all men are vain, in whom there is not the knowledge of God: and who by these good things that are seen, could not understand him that is, neither by attending to the works have acknowledged who was the workman:
drb@B8013:13 @And taking what was left thereof, which is good for nothing, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, carveth it diligently when he hath nothing else to do, and by the skill of his art fashioneth it and maketh it like the image of a man:
drb@B8014:6 @And from the beginning also when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world fleeing to a vessel, which was governed by thy hand, left to the world seed of generation.
drb@B8014:15 @For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants.
drb@B8014:16 @Then in process of time, wicked custom prevailing, this error was kept as a law, and statues were worshipped by the commandment of tyrants.
drb@B8014:17 @And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent
drb@B8014:20 @And the multitude of men, carried away by the beauty of the work, took him now for a god that a little before was but honoured as a man.
drb@B8014:21 @And this was the occasion of deceiving human life: for men serving either their affection, or their kings, gave the incommunicable name to stones and wood.
drb@B8014:22 @And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace.
drb@B8015:8 @And of the same clay by a vain labour he maketh a god: he who a little before was made of earth himself, and a little after returneth to the same out of which he was taken, when his life which was lent him shall be called for again.
drb@B8016:3 @To the end that they indeed desiring food, by means of those things that were shewn and sent among them, might loathe even that which was necessary to satisfy their desire. But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat.
drb@B8016:4 @For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed.
drb@B8016:7 @For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee the Saviour of all.
drb@B8016:9 @For the bitings of locusts, and of flies killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things.
drb@B8016:12 @For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
