Bible: Hebrew Judges

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or judges:

    Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 26:5.

    The world, the wise world, that never is wrong itself, judges always by events. And if he should use me ill, then I shall be blamed for trusting him: if well, O then I did right, to be sure!—But how would my censurers act in my case, before the event justifies or condemns the action, is the question.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
