Bible: Hebrew Judges

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or judges:

    There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.

    From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.

    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)
