bes@Jdt:16:15 @ For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.

bes@Wis:1:16 @ But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

bes@Wis:3:5 @ And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

bes@Wis:6:16 @ For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.

bes@Wis:9:1 @ O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

bes@Wis:9:2 @ And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

bes@Wis:9:4 @ Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:

bes@Wis:9:5 @ For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgement and laws.

bes@Wis:9:6 @ For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

bes@Wis:9:7 @ Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

bes@Wis:9:8 @ Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

bes@Wis:9:9 @ And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.

bes@Wis:9:10 @ O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.

bes@Wis:9:12 @ So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father’s seat.

bes@Wis:9:15 @ For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.

bes@Wis:9:17 @ And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?

bes@Wis:10:20 @ Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.

bes@Wis:11:17 @ For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears or fierce lions,

bes@Wis:11:18 @ Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:

bes@Wis:11:20 @ Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.

bes@Wis:11:21 @ For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm?

bes@Wis:11:25 @ And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?

bes@Wis:12:3 @ For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,

bes@Wis:12:7 @ That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God’s children.

bes@Wis:12:10 @ But executing thy judgements upon them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.

bes@Wis:12:12 @ For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgement? or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?

bes@Wis:12:13 @ For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgement is not unright.

bes@Wis:12:15 @ Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished.

bes@Wis:12:16 @ For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious unto all.

bes@Wis:12:17 @ For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.

bes@Wis:12:18 @ But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.

bes@Wis:12:19 @ But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.

bes@Wis:12:20 @ For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice:

bes@Wis:12:22 @ Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.

bes@Wis:12:26 @ But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgement worthy of God.

bes@Wis:14:3 @ But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;

bes@Wis:14:5 @ Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.

bes@Wis:14:6 @ For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

bes@Wis:15:2 @ For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted thine.

bes@Wis:15:3 @ For to know thee is perfect righteousness: yea, to know thy power is the root of immortality.

bes@Wis:15:6 @ Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to have such things to trust upon.

bes@Wis:15:14 @ And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.

bes@Wis:16:5 @ For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:

bes@Wis:16:6 @ But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.

bes@Wis:16:9 @ For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.

bes@Wis:16:10 @ But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.

bes@Wis:16:11 @ For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.

bes@Wis:16:12 @ For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.

bes@Wis:16:21 @ For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man’s liking.

bes@Wis:16:25 @ Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need:

bes@Wis:16:26 @ That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.

bes@Wis:17:1 @ For great are thy judgements, and cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.

bes@Wis:17:8 @ For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.

bes@Wis:18:1 @ Nevertheless thy saints had a very great light, whose voice they hearing, and not seeing their shape, because they also had not suffered the same things, they counted them happy.

bes@Wis:18:4 @ For they were worthy to be deprived of light and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the world.

bes@Wis:18:7 @ So of thy people was accepted both the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.

bes@Wis:18:15 @ Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of destruction,

bes@Wis:18:21 @ For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.

bes@Wis:18:24 @ For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the diadem of his head.

bes@Wis:19:4 @ For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

bes@Wis:19:5 @ And that thy people might pass a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.

bes@Wis:19:6 @ For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

bes@Wis:19:8 @ Where through all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

bes@Wis:19:22 @ For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.

bes@Tob:2:14 @ But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.

bes@Tob:3:2 @ O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

bes@Tob:3:4 @ For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.

bes@Tob:3:5 @ And now thy judgements are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers’: because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.

bes@Tob:3:6 @ Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.

bes@Tob:3:9 @ Wherefore dost thou beat us for them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter.

bes@Tob:3:11 @ Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.

bes@Tob:4:3 @ And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.

bes@Tob:4:5 @ My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.

bes@Tob:4:6 @ For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.

bes@Tob:4:7 @ Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.

bes@Tob:4:9 @ For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.

bes@Tob:4:12 @ Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father’s tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.

bes@Tob:4:13 @ Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine.

bes@Tob:4:14 @ Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.

bes@Tob:4:15 @ Do that to no man which thou hatest: drink not wine to make thee drunken: neither let drunkenness go with thee in thy journey.

bes@Tob:4:16 @ Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine abundance give alms: and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms.

bes@Tob:4:17 @ Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give nothing to the wicked.

bes@Tob:4:19 @ Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

bes@Tob:5:11 @ To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.

bes@Tob:5:12 @ Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.

bes@Tob:5:13 @ Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.

bes@Tob:5:15 @ Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.

bes@Tob:5:16 @ So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man’s dog with them.

bes@Tob:6:10 @ The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.

bes@Tob:6:15 @ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

bes@Tob:7:13 @ Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

bes@Tob:7:18 @ Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.

bes@Tob:8:5 @ Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

bes@Tob:8:15 @ Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

bes@Tob:8:16 @ Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

bes@Tob:10:6 @ To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.

bes@Tob:10:7 @ But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel,

bes@Tob:10:9 @ But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

bes@Tob:10:13 @ And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

bes@Tob:11:2 @ Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:

bes@Tob:11:3 @ Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.

bes@Tob:11:6 @ And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.

bes@Tob:11:7 @ Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.

bes@Tob:11:14 @ And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:

bes@Tob:11:17 @ But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

bes@Tob:12:12 @ Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.

bes@Tob:12:13 @ And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.

bes@Tob:12:14 @ And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.

bes@Tob:13:9 @ O Jerusalem, the holy city, he will scourge thee for thy children’s works, and will have mercy again on the sons of the righteous.

bes@Tob:13:14 @ O blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.

bes@Tob:13:16 @ For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires and emeralds, and precious stone: thy walls and towers and battlements with pure gold.

bes@Tob:14:3 @ And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

bes@Tob:14:9 @ But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.

bes@Tob:14:10 @ And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.

bes@Sir:1:30 @ Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.

bes@Sir:3:10 @ Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father’s dishonour is no glory unto thee.

bes@Sir:3:12 @ My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.

bes@Sir:3:13 @ And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.

bes@Sir:3:14 @ For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.

bes@Sir:3:15 @ In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.

bes@Sir:3:17 @ My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.

bes@Sir:5:3 @ And say not, Who shall control me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride.

bes@Sir:5:7 @ Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.

bes@Sir:5:10 @ Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same.

bes@3Macc:2:20 @ Let thy mercies quickly go before us. Grant us peace, that the cast down and broken hearted may praise thee with their mouth.

bes@3Macc:4:11 @ They were conveyed accordingly in this vessel, and at the end of it arrived at Schedia. The king had ordered them to be cast into the vast hippodrome, which was built in front of the city. This place was well adapted by its situation to expose them to the gaze of all comers into the city, and of those who went from the city into the country. Thus they could hold no communication with his forces; nay, were deemed unworthy of any civilized accommodation.

bes@3Macc:4:16 @ The king was filled with great and constant joy, and celebrated banquets before the temple idols. His erring heart, far from the truth, and his profane mouth, gave glory to idols, deaf and incapable of speaking or aiding, and uttered unworthy speech against the Greatest God.

bes@3Macc:5:40 @ O king, how long dost thou make trial of us, as of men bereft of reason? This is the third time that thou hast ordered their destruction. When the thing is to be done, thou changest thy mind, and recallest thy instructions.

bes@3Macc:6:2 @ O king, mighty in power, most high, Almighty God, who regulates the whole creation with thy tender mercy,

bes@3Macc:6:11 @ Let not the vain-minded congratulate vain idols at the destruction of thy beloved, saying, Neither did their god deliver them.

bes@3Macc:6:15 @ Let it be shewn to all the nations that thou art with us, O Lord, and hast not turned thy face away from us; but as thou saidst that thou wouldst not forget them even in the land of their enemies, so do thou fulfil this saying, O Lord.

bes@4Macc:5:6 @ I would counsel thee, old man, before thy tortures begin, to tasted the swine's flesh, and save your life; for I feel respect for your age and hoary head, which since you have had so long, you appear to me to be no philosopher in retaining the superstition of the Jews.

bes@4Macc:5:11 @ Will you not awake from your trifling philosophy? and give up the folly of your notions; and, regaining understanding worthy of your age, search into the truth of an expedient course?

bes@4Macc:6:28 @ Be merciful to thy people, and be satisfied with the punishment of me on their account.

bes@4Macc:7:6 @ O priest worthy of the priesthood! thou didst not pollute thy sacred teeth; nor make thine appetite, which had always embraced the clean and lawful, a partaker of profanity.

bes@4Macc:7:9 @ Thou, father, hast gloriously established our right government by thy endurance; and making of much account our service past, prevented its destruction, and, by thy deeds, hast made credible the words of philosophy.

bes@4Macc:10:1 @ Now this one, having endured this praiseworthy death, the third was brought along, and exhorted by many to taste and save his life.

bes@4Macc:10:13 @ Do not thou share the madness of thy brethren: but give regard to the king, and save thyself.

bes@4Macc:11:6 @ But this is worthy of honours, not torments;

bes@4Macc:11:24 @ We six youths have destroyed thy tyranny.

bes@4Macc:11:25 @ For is not your inability to overrule our reasoning, and to compel us to eat the unclean, thy destruction?

bes@4Macc:12:4 @ Thou seest the end of the madness of thy brethren: for they have died to torture through disobedience; and you, if disobedient, having been miserably tormented, will yourself perish prematurely.

bes@4Macc:15:11 @ And yet, though there were so many circumstances connected with love of children to draw on a mother to sympathy, in the case of none of them were the various tortures able to pervert her principle.

bes@4Macc:15:18 @ Thy first-born, expiring, turned thee not; nor the second, looking miserable in his torments; nor the third, breathing out his soul.

bes@4Macc:16:15 @ For when thou wast seized along with thy children, thou stoodest looking upon Eleazar in torments, and saidst to thy sons in the Hebrew tongue,

bes@4Macc:17:3 @ For thou, as an house bravely built upon the pillar of thy children, didst bear without swaying, the shock of tortures.

bes@4Macc:17:5 @ Not so gracious does the moon appear with the stars in heaven, as thou art established honourable before God, and fixed in the firmament with thy sons who thou didst illuminate with religion to the stars.
