Famous quotes containing the word ornaments:

    “Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in
    their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
    Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet,
    with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
    How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!
    Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Second Samuel (l. I, 23–25)
