bes@Jdt:1:11 @ But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.

bes@Jdt:1:12 @ Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.

bes@Jdt:3:9 @ Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.

bes@Jdt:7:4 @ Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.

bes@Jdt:7:18 @ Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over against Dothaim: and they sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and covered the face of the whole land; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude.

bes@Jdt:12:15 @ So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman’s attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.

bes@Jdt:12:16 @ Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.

bes@Jdt:12:20 @ And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.

bes@Jdt:13:4 @ So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.

bes@Jdt:14:10 @ And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.

bes@Jdt:14:18 @ These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.

bes@Jdt:14:19 @ When the captains of the Assyrians’ army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.

bes@Jdt:15:5 @ Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.

bes@Jdt:15:6 @ And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.

bes@Jdt:15:7 @ And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.

bes@Jdt:15:9 @ And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of our nation:

bes@Wis:2:15 @ He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men’s, his ways are of another fashion.

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:3:9 @ They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

bes@Wis:4:9 @ But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.

bes@Wis:4:15 @ This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.

bes@Wis:5:1 @ Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.

bes@Wis:8:18 @ And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.

bes@Wis:11:12 @ For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.

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:11:22 @ For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.

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

bes@Wis:12:21 @ With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises?

bes@Wis:12:27 @ For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; now being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

bes@Wis:13:5 @ For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.

bes@Wis:14:16 @ Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.

bes@Wis:14:20 @ And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

bes@Wis:14:22 @ Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

bes@Wis:14:24 @ They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him by adultery.

bes@Wis:15:1 @ But thou, O God, art gracious and true, longsuffering, and in mercy ordering all things,

bes@Wis:15:13 @ For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.

bes@Wis:16:2 @ Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:

bes@Wis:16:20 @ Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels’ food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man’s delight, and agreeing to every taste.

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:17:7 @ As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.

bes@Wis:17:11 @ For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things.

bes@Wis:17:21 @ Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.

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:18:24 @ 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:19:3 @ For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.

bes@Wis:19:7 @ As namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:

bes@Wis:19:10 @ For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

bes@Wis:19:16 @ But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.

bes@Wis:19:17 @ Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

bes@Wis:19:19 @ For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.

bes@Tob:1:13 @ And the most High gave me grace and favour before Enemessar, so that I was his purveyor.

bes@Tob:1:16 @ And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,

bes@Tob:2:7 @ Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.

bes@Tob:3:1 @ Then I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed, saying,

bes@Tob:3:10 @ When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.

bes@Tob:3:16 @ So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty of the great God.

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:4:4 @ Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.

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:4:13 @ 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:4:16 @ 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: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:5:18 @ Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.

bes@Tob:6:1 @ And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.

bes@Tob:6:14 @ And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father’s and my mother’s life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.

bes@Tob:7:11 @ I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.

bes@Tob:8:9 @ So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,

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:8:17 @ Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

bes@Tob:8:18 @ Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.

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:11:15 @ For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

bes@Tob:11:19 @ And Tobias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy.

bes@Tob:12:22 @ Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.

bes@Tob:13:4 @ There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.

bes@Tob:13:7 @ I will extol my God, and my soul shall praise the King of heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.

bes@Tob:13:11 @ Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all generations shall praise thee with great joy.

bes@Tob:13:15 @ Let my soul bless God the great King.

bes@Sir:1:7 @ Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest? and who hath understood her great experience?

bes@Sir:1:8 @ There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.

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

bes@Sir:3:18 @ The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.

bes@Sir:3:20 @ For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.

bes@Sir:4:2 @ Make not an hungry soul sorrowful; neither provoke a man in his distress.

bes@Sir:4:7 @ Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to a great man.

bes@Sir:4:8 @ Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.

bes@Sir:4:21 @ For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there is a shame which is glory and grace.

bes@Sir:5:6 @ And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.

bes@Sir:5:15 @ Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small.

bes@Sir:6:5 @ Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings.

bes@Sir:6:25 @ Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.

bes@Sir:7:17 @ Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.

bes@Sir:7:19 @ Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold.

bes@Sir:7:33 @ A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for the dead detain it not.

bes@Sir:8:4 @ Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced.

bes@Sir:8:7 @ Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remember that we die all.

bes@Sir:8:8 @ Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease.

bes@Sir:8:15 @ Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly.

bes@Sir:8:16 @ Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee.

bes@Sir:9:12 @ Delight not in the thing that the ungodly have pleasure in; but remember they shall not go unpunished unto their grave.

bes@Sir:10:19 @ They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that love him an honourable plant: they that regard not the law are a dishonourable seed; they that transgress the commandments are a deceivable seed.

bes@Sir:10:24 @ Great men, and judges, and potentates, shall be honoured; yet is there none of them greater than he that feareth the Lord.

bes@Sir:10:25 @ Unto the servant that is wise shall they that are free do service: and he that hath knowledge will not grudge when he is reformed.

bes@Sir:11:1 @ Wisdom lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men.

bes@Sir:11:5 @ Many kings have sat down upon the ground; and one that was never thought of hath worn the crown.

bes@Sir:11:6 @ Many mighty men have been greatly disgraced; and the honourable delivered into other men’s hands.

bes@Sir:12:9 @ In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.

bes@Sir:13:2 @ Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest; and have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.

bes@Sir:13:18 @ What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor?

bes@Sir:14:12 @ Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shewed unto thee.

bes@Sir:14:16 @ Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.

bes@Sir:14:18 @ As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.

bes@Sir:15:5 @ She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.

bes@Sir:15:18 @ For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:

bes@Sir:16:5 @ Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and mine ear hath heard greater things than these.

bes@Sir:16:6 @ In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire.

bes@Sir:16:12 @ As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: he judgeth a man according to his works

bes@Sir:17:8 @ He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works.

bes@Sir:17:21 @ But the Lord being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.

bes@Sir:17:24 @ But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.

bes@Sir:17:27 @ Who shall praise the most High in the grave, instead of them which live and give thanks?

bes@Sir:17:29 @ How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!

bes@Sir:18:6 @ As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them, neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.

bes@Sir:18:10 @ As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravelstone in comparison of the sand; so are a thousand years to the days of eternity.

bes@Sir:18:17 @ Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are with a gracious man.

bes@Sir:19:17 @ Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him; and not being angry, give place to the law of the most High.

bes@Sir:19:24 @ He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High.

bes@Sir:20:2 @ It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly: and he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt.

bes@Sir:20:13 @ A wise man by his words maketh him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.

bes@Sir:20:27 @ A wise man shall promote himself to honour with his words: and he that hath understanding will please great men.

bes@Sir:20:28 @ He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.

bes@Sir:21:9 @ The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.

bes@Sir:21:16 @ The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.

bes@Sir:21:17 @ They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart.

bes@Sir:21:24 @ It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.

bes@Sir:22:1 @ A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.

bes@Sir:23:6 @ Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; and give not over me thy servant into an impudent mind.

bes@Sir:23:12 @ There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.

bes@Sir:23:14 @ Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse they day of thy nativity.

bes@Sir:23:24 @ She shall be brought out into the congregation, and inquisition shall be made of her children.

bes@Sir:23:28 @ It is great glory to follow the Lord, and to be received of him is long life.

bes@Sir:24:2 @ In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.

bes@Sir:24:14 @ I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.

bes@Sir:24:16 @ As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.

bes@Sir:24:21 @ They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.

bes@Sir:24:23 @ All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.

bes@Sir:24:25 @ He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.

bes@Sir:24:29 @ For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep.

bes@Sir:25:1 @ In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.

bes@Sir:25:2 @ Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.

bes@Sir:25:4 @ O how comely a thing is judgement for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!

bes@Sir:25:10 @ O how great is he that findeth wisdom! yet is there none above him that feareth the Lord.

bes@Sir:26:6 @ But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.

bes@Sir:26:8 @ A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.

bes@Sir:26:13 @ The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.

bes@Sir:26:15 @ A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.

bes@Sir:26:28 @ There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.

bes@Sir:27:15 @ The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.

bes@Sir:28:14 @ A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.

bes@Sir:28:21 @ The death thereof is an evil death, the grave were better than it.

bes@Sir:29:5 @ Till he hath received, he will kiss a man’s hand; and for his neighbour’s money he will speak submissly: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time.

bes@Sir:29:6 @ If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace.

bes@Sir:29:19 @ A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men’s business for gain shall fall into suits.

bes@Sir:29:28 @ These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender.

bes@Sir:30:3 @ He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him.

bes@Sir:30:16 @ There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart. I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.

bes@Sir:30:18 @ Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave. Hear me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.

bes@Sir:34:3 @ The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates.

bes@Sir:34:11 @ His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his alms.

bes@Sir:34:12 @ If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it.

bes@Sir:35:9 @ If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words.

bes@Sir:36:10 @ And all men are from the ground, and Adam was created of earth:

bes@Sir:37:2 @ Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is turned to an enemy?

bes@Sir:37:21 @ For grace is not given, him from the Lord, because he is deprived of all wisdom.

bes@Sir:37:29 @ Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats:

bes@Sir:38:3 @ The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration.

bes@Sir:38:16 @ My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.

bes@Sir:38:17 @ Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.

bes@Sir:38:27 @ So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work:

bes@Sir:38:33 @ They shall not be sought for in publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges’ seat, nor understand the sentence of judgement: they cannot declare justice and judgement; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken.

bes@Sir:39:3 @ He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables.

bes@Sir:39:4 @ He shall serve among great men, and appear before princes: he will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried the good and the evil among men.

bes@Sir:39:6 @ When the great Lord will, he shall be filled with the spirit of understanding: he shall pour out wise sentences, and give thanks unto the Lord in his prayer.

bes@Sir:39:10 @ Nations shall shew forth his wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise.

bes@2Macc:2:18 @ As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.

bes@2Macc:2:19 @ Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar,

bes@2Macc:2:22 @ And recovered again the temple renowned all the world over, and freed the city, and upheld the laws which were going down, the Lord being gracious unto them with all favour:

bes@2Macc:2:27 @ Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;

bes@2Macc:2:31 @ But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of the work, is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment.

bes@2Macc:3:11 @ And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had misinformed: the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:

bes@2Macc:3:24 @ Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

bes@2Macc:3:27 @ And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was compassed with great darkness: but they that were with him took him up, and put him into a litter.

bes@2Macc:3:28 @ Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

bes@2Macc:3:31 @ Then straightways certain of Heliodorus’ friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

bes@2Macc:3:33 @ Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life:

bes@2Macc:3:35 @ So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king.

bes@2Macc:3:36 @ Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his eyes.

bes@2Macc:4:10 @ Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten into his hand the rule he forthwith brought his own nation to Greekish fashion.

bes@2Macc:4:11 @ And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law:

bes@2Macc:4:13 @ Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and no high priest;

bes@2Macc:4:15 @ Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

bes@2Macc:4:19 @ This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.

bes@2Macc:4:22 @ Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.

bes@2Macc:4:35 @ For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of other nations, took great indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of the man.

bes@2Macc:4:36 @ And when the king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain without cause.

bes@2Macc:4:42 @ Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee: but as for the churchrobber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.

bes@2Macc:4:50 @ And so through the covetousness of them that were of power Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens.

bes@2Macc:5:17 @ And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he considered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place.

bes@2Macc:5:20 @ And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did afterward communicate in the benefits sent from the Lord: and as it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory.

bes@2Macc:5:26 @ And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes.

bes@2Macc:6:3 @ The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:

bes@2Macc:6:13 @ For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished.

bes@2Macc:6:23 @ But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray head, whereon was come, and his most honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God: therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways to send him to the grave.

bes@2Macc:6:30 @ But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him.

bes@2Macc:7:2 @ But one of them that spake first said thus, What wouldest thou ask or learn of us? we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of our fathers.

bes@2Macc:7:17 @ But abide a while, and behold his great power, how he will torment thee and thy seed.

bes@2Macc:7:33 @ And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.

bes@2Macc:7:39 @ Than the king’ being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.

bes@2Macc:8:3 @ And that he would have compassion upon the city, sore defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground; and hear the blood that cried unto him,

bes@2Macc:8:9 @ Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.

bes@2Macc:8:16 @ So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,

bes@2Macc:8:20 @ And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed an hundred and twenty thousand because of the help that they had from heaven, and so received a great booty.

bes@2Macc:8:34 @ As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews,

bes@2Macc:8:35 @ He was through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he made least account; and putting off his glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed.

bes@2Macc:9:4 @ Then swelling with anger. he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariotman to drive without ceasing, and to dispatch the journey, the judgement of God now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem and make it a common burying place of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:9:8 @ And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in an horselitter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.

bes@2Macc:9:11 @ Here therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment.

bes@2Macc:9:14 @ That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common buryingplace,) he would set at liberty:

bes@2Macc:9:20 @ If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be to your contentment, I give very great thanks to God, having my hope in heaven.

bes@2Macc:9:21 @ As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remembered kindly your honour and good will returning out of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to care for the common safety of all:

bes@2Macc:9:22 @ Not distrusting mine health, but having great hope to escape this sickness.

bes@2Macc:9:24 @ To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to expectation, or if any tidings were brought that were grievous, they of the land, knowing to whom the state was left, might not be troubled:

bes@2Macc:9:27 @ For I am persuaded that he understanding my mind will favourably and graciously yield to your desires.

bes@2Macc:9:28 @ Thus the murderer and blasphemer having suffered most grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable death in a strange country in the mountains.

bes@2Macc:10:24 @ Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take Jewry by force of arms.

bes@2Macc:10:38 @ When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and given them the victory.

bes@2Macc:11:14 @ And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, and promised that he would persuade the king that he must needs be a friend unto them.

bes@2Macc:11:15 @ Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, being careful of the common good; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it.

bes@2Macc:11:16 @ For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

bes@2Macc:11:18 @ Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as much as might be.

bes@2Macc:11:22 @ Now the king’s letter contained these words: King Antiochus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting:

bes@2Macc:11:26 @ Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.

bes@2Macc:11:27 @ And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews:

bes@2Macc:11:34 @ The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing these words: Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius, ambassadors of the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:11:35 @ Whatsoever Lysias the king’s cousin hath granted, therewith we also are well pleased.

bes@2Macc:12:12 @ Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted them peace: whereupon they shook hands, and so they departed to their tents.

bes@2Macc:12:15 @ Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls,

bes@2Macc:12:25 @ So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.

bes@2Macc:12:27 @ And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas removed the host toward Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strong young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily: wherein also was great provision of engines and darts.

bes@2Macc:12:39 @ And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers’ graves.

bes@2Macc:12:45 @ And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly, it was an holy and good thought. Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from sin.

bes@2Macc:13:1 @ In the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judea,

bes@2Macc:13:2 @ And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.

bes@2Macc:13:3 @ Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.

bes@2Macc:13:6 @ And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death.

bes@2Macc:13:12 @ So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.

bes@2Macc:13:23 @ Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, was desperately bent, confounded, intreated the Jews, submitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly with the place,

bes@2Macc:13:25 @ Came to Ptolemais: the people there were grieved for the covenants; for they stormed, because they would make their covenants void:

bes@2Macc:14:1 @ After three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius the son of Seleucus, having entered by the haven of Tripolis with a great power and navy,

bes@2Macc:14:13 @ Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple.

bes@2Macc:14:28 @ When this came to Nicanor’s hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault.

bes@2Macc:14:31 @ But the other, knowing that he was notably prevented by Judas’ policy, came into the great and holy temple, and commanded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to deliver him the man.

bes@2Macc:14:33 @ He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus.

bes@2Macc:14:45 @ Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng; and standing upon a steep rock,

bes@2Macc:15:3 @ Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were a Mighty one in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.

bes@2Macc:15:13 @ This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty.

bes@2Macc:15:18 @ For the care that they took for their wives, and their children, their brethren, and folks, was in least account with them: but the greatest and principal fear was for the holy temple.

bes@2Macc:15:27 @ So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.

bes@2Macc:15:29 @ Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.

bes@AddDaniel:1:16 @ Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.

bes@AddDaniel:1:53 @ O all ye things that grow in the earth, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.

bes@PrMan:1:7 @ for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.

bes@PrMan:1:9 @ for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities.

bes@PrMan:1:11 @ Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.

bes@PrMan:1:13 @ wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquities. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent;

bes@PrMan:1:14 @ and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy.

bes@3Macc:1:8 @ The Jews sent some of their council and of their elders to him. The greetings, guest- gifts, and congratulations of the past, bestowed by them, filled him with the greater eagerness to visit their city.

bes@3Macc:1:23 @ Calling out to arms, and to die bravely in defence of the law of their fathers, they created a great uproar in the place, and were with difficulty brought back by the aged and the elders to the station of prayer which they had occupied before.

bes@3Macc:2:9 @ Thou, O King, when thou createdst the illimitable and measureless earth, didst choose out this city: thou didst make this place sacred to thy name, albeit thou needest nothing: thou didst glorify it with thine illustrious presence, after constructing it to the glory of thy great and honourable name.

bes@3Macc:2:13 @ see now, holy King, how through our many and great sins we are borne down, and made subject to our enemies, and are become weak and powerless.

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:2:21 @ At that time God, who seeth all things, who is beyond all Holy among the holy, heard that prayer, so suitable; and scourged the man greatly uplifted with scorn and insolence.

bes@3Macc:4:2 @ The Jews suffered great throes of sorrow, and wept much; while their hearts, all things around being lamentable, were set on fire as they bewailed the sudden destruction which was decreed against them.

bes@3Macc:4:8 @ The husbands of these, in the prime of their youthful vigour, instead of crowns wore halters round their necks; instead of feasting and youthful jollity, spent the rest of their nuptial days in wailings, and saw only the grave at hand.

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.
