Side 221 - Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
Side 61 - When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Side 233 - And among these nations shalt thou find no ease; neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind : and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life : In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even!

Side 423 - Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Side 129 - For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow?
Side 351 - God is not a man, that he should lie, Nor the son of man, that he should repent. Hath he said, and shall he not do it ? Hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good...
