7482Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
7482Would these seeds take root?
7482Would they bear fruit when the crisis for Israel came?
7482Would they grow and flourish?
7482Zedekiah, therefore, wanted to know from Jeremiah:"Is there any word from the Lord?
7482_ The Woe of the Prophet._"What now?"
26094And may it not be thus with all the future journey of life?
26094And think you that I would bring sin upon your head?
26094And what followed?
26094And who may this chosen individual be?
26094Are these brave spirits now reigning in one of these orbs of beauty?
26094Are you a follower of Antiochus Epiphanes?
26094Are you not proud of your kinsman, my child?
26094Behold, farther on in the roll, what was revealed to the prophet Isaiah? 26094 But who, then, visibly appeared unto Abraham?
26094Can you deny that you have been present as a spy at a scene to have witnessed which places the lives of all here assembled in your hands?
26094Can you have read the sentence correctly? 26094 Can you not look upon me as something more than a brother, Zarah?"
26094Can you not_ believe_?
26094Can you tell me where that home is?
26094Dead?
26094Did you never hear of the proofs given by Zopyrus? 26094 Dwells the Lord Lycidas here?"
26094Even the privilege of wedding a Hebrew maiden?
26094From whence comes all this?
26094Hadassah, Hadassah, into what wilderness of heresy are you wandering?
26094Has Joab never spoken to you of a stranger, very goodly in person and graceful in mien?
26094Has anything happened?
26094Have you been here in the heat of the sun, my dove, letting the fierce rays beat on your unveiled face?
26094Have you heard from Joab where dwells a week-- an Athenian-- Lycidas is his name?
26094How shall I find my way, father?
26094How shall I pass them?
26094I do not understand you,said Abishai;"how is the word Sacrifice written on Nature?"
26094If God should deign to take the form of Man, to bear Man''s penalty, to suffer Man''s death, might He not be_ both_?
26094Is he not something more?
26094Is it for this that you have washed your hands in innocency, and kept your feet in the paths of truth? 26094 Is it known what the despatches contain?"
26094Is it not evident,pursued Hadassah,"that the arm of the Lord is stretched out to fight for Judah--- that His blessing goes with Judas Maccabeus?
26094Is it sinful to desire that the blessings of the covenant were not so exclusive?
26094Is it so? 26094 Is it, can it be because another has a nearer place in your heart?"
26094Is it-- can it be true-- Zarah-- captive-- in peril?
26094Is not this the_ Promised Land_ still?
26094Is the Lord the Maker only of the Jew; made He not the Gentile also?
26094Is there no danger from him?
26094Is your father living?
26094Know you the numbers of the Syrians?
26094Lycidas? 26094 Now,"thought Zarah,"there is a long dark passage to traverse-- is it on the right or the left?
26094Oh, mother, think you that the stranger will live?
26094See we it not on all things around us?
26094See you yon Syrian banner waving from the tower,cried Maccabeus,--"who will be the first to tear it down?"
26094See you yon smoke arising from smouldering heaps? 26094 See you yon stone, my brother?"
26094Thinks Antiochus Epiphanes that he hath power to strive against the Lord?
26094Was he not with you at the rebellious meeting?
26094Was it not a proud moment for Achsah, when Othniel, after the conquest of Kirjathsepher, claimed her hand as the victor''s prize?
26094Were that well?
26094What God hath planted, who shall root up? 26094 What course will you then pursue towards Maccabeus?"
26094What have you there, Joab, under yon mantle?
26094What is the number of our forces?
26094What is written here of the coming Messiah?
26094What mean ye, Hebrews-- friends? 26094 What means this tumult?
26094What would you have me do?
26094What would you say in your defence, young man?
26094What, the lady Hadassah?
26094When was that?
26094Where are we now?
26094Where is Joab?
26094Wherefore not?
26094Whither can I fly, and how?
26094Whither could I fly?
26094Whither has he gone?
26094Who am I, that I should claim exemption from disappointment and loss? 26094 Who are you that you should judge, you Nabal, you son of folly?"
26094Who is My Fellow?
26094Who is he,continued Joab,"and how comes he to be clasped in the arms of the Lady Hadassah?"
26094Who is yon Gentile?
26094Who then lay a bleeding corpse on the threshold, slain by the murderous Syrians?
26094Why should you not know of the high honour awaiting my daughter? 26094 Woe is me!--what shall I do-- what shall I do-- is there no way of escape?"
26094You pity the sufferers?
26094You will obey me, my daughter?
26094Zarah is prisoner in yon palace,said Hadassah,"you will do all in your power to save her?"
26094Zarah, why should I longer conceal from you what has so long been in my thoughts?
26094--''Think you, child,''said Hadassah,''that a building ten thousand times more splendid than that raised by Solomon would add a whit to His glory?
260942), and will the candlestick then be needed?
2609423)?
2609454) that Christ should suffer these things?
26094And his own life-- was it not in danger?
26094And how had the last half- year sped with Zarah?
26094And in an almost inaudible voice the aged lady added, closing her eyes,"Must I know that misery twice?"
26094And will not He for whom I die hear now my feeble prayers for those whom I leave behind?
26094And, if my mother Hadassah reads Scripture aright, may not such a time be approaching?
26094Are you content?"
26094Are you still insane enough to choose tortures and death?"
26094At last she timidly said, her cheeks glowing crimson as she spoke,"Shall I be candid with you, Lycidas?
26094But what can we expect from the daughter of a perjured traitor, an apostate?
26094But what was the alternative, if the dreaded leap were not taken?
26094But what would such a trophy of earthly distinction be to her?
26094But will not He who supported me under the one sustain me also through the other, if I must die for my faith to- morrow before that terrible king?
26094Can God care only for the children of Abraham?
26094Can there be salvation for any that may not partake of the Paschal lamb?
26094Could such a soft silken thread bear the strain of a blast which might snap the strongest cable?
26094Could the soldier''s words be true?
26094Did Hadassah hear the joyful exclamation?
26094Did not Nathan say to penitent David,''Thou shalt not surely die;''was not even the guilty Manasseh restored to his throne?
26094Do the Hebrews hope for the advent of a Deity upon earth, or only that of a prophet?
26094Do you not rejoice, Zarah, in the victory which has been won by our Hebrew heroes?"
26094Does it increase the value of the diamond if the earth in which it lies embedded show a few spangles of gold dust?''
26094FRIENDS OR FOES?
26094FRIENDS OR FOES?
26094Had she really spoken truth when she had said,"Hadassah would not have blamed us?"
26094Had there been aught in her conduct unseemly?
26094Had they not measured swords with the warriors of Apollonius and Seron, and more recently those of Bacchides?
26094Had they not scattered the thousands of Nicanor, and made Giorgias seek safety in ignominious retreat?
26094Have we not here the Victim, the Substitute, the Sacrifice bound on the altar, bleeding, wounded, dying, and that for sins not His own?"
26094Have you no friends, no relatives, in Galilee, or on the sea- coast?"
26094He soon beheld her-- could it indeed be she?
26094How many of the inhabitants of Modin obeyed the call?
26094I could scarcely endure the terror: how could I endure the pain?
26094If Gentile Christians are longing and praying for that time, shall not Hebrews long, pray, and strive to hasten its coming?
26094If Zarah remained firm in the faith, she must die;--could the father endure to witness the martyrdom of his beautiful child?
26094In the moment of triumph,"Will not Zarah rejoice?"
26094Is it for this that you have devoted all your powers to God and your country, have shrunk from no toil, and dreaded no danger?
26094Is not exclusion from this feast exclusion from pardoning grace?
26094Is the note of triumph sounded here?
26094Is this the faith of the Hebrews?"
26094Know you not how Babylon, the golden city, fell under the sword of Darius?
26094May it not be-- must it not so be-- if we read the Scriptures aright?"
26094On whose glory was Isaiah permitted to gaze?
26094Once when Zarah had ventured to ask the question,"Did you know my father?"
26094See you the glitter of the spears?
26094Shall they not search their hearts and ask,"Wherefore is it so long delayed?
26094Shall we charge down upon them, and sweep them from the face of the earth?"
26094She had called the Gentile by his name, could it be that which had drawn upon her the unwonted displeasure of Hadassah?
26094Son of Phineas, descendant of Aaron the high- priest of God, have you no word to speak over the grave of those who died for the faith?"
26094Tell me what is the name of the Hebrew''s powerful God?"
26094Then, raising her head, she suddenly inquired--"Did my father also destine me to be the bride of my kinsman?"
26094Think we that the All- merciful can take pleasure in the death of bulls or of goats?
26094Was Hadassah angry with her daughter?
26094Was Zarah thankful also?
26094Was it a foreboding of coming sorrow, or a feeling of self- reproach, that brooded over the maiden''s soul?
26094Was not Maccabeus their leader, and saw they not the light flashing from his helmet in the fore- front of the battle?
26094Was not exultation in the heart of Maccabeus at that moment?
26094Was not instant flight from court the only means of affording a chance of safety either to parent or daughter?
26094Was not the Canaanite to be rooted out of the land?
26094Was such a mighty hero, such an exalted leader, likely to care for the heart of a simple girl?
26094What had she done, what had she said, that her venerated relative should look on her thus?
26094What is the name of that God whom they would not deny, even to save themselves from torture and death?"
26094What marvel if with some of these warriors religion have darkened into fanaticism, courage degenerated into savage fierceness?
26094What profit is there in obedience, what benefit in devotion?
26094What says she?"
26094When David was engaged in rescuing his flock from the lion and the bear, did he stop to gather the lilies of the field?
26094Wherefore are the heathen still suffered to prevail; the followers of the false prophet to hold the holy city in subjection?
26094Who dare bid us draw back when the Lord hath delivered the prey to our swords?"
26094Who guided them thither?"
26094Who shall now keep the Feast of the Dedication of the Temple when that glorious Temple has itself become a thing of the past?
26094Who spake unto Gideon?
26094Who was He,_ like the Son of Man, who came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days?_"( Dan.
26094Who was it who wrestled with Jacob?
26094Who was soon to walk in the fiery furnace?
26094Why have countless victims been offered, even from the time of the Fall?
26094Why was she away?
26094Why was the dying lamb of Abel more acceptable than the bloodless offering of Cain?
26094Will ye open your arms, or draw your swords, to receive him?"
26094Will you not give it to him, Zarah-- you, whose very name signifies''brightness''?"
26094With his wealth, his talent, his eloquence, might he not help to save her child?
26094Would He not then have been welcomed by the heroes of Emmaus and Bethsura, instead of being despised and rejected of men?
26094Would he not, humanly speaking, have escaped the scourge, the nails, and the spear?
26094Would it be quite impossible that Britons should receive the light of His Word, even as they receive the light of His sunshine?
26094Would she come to probe a heart which had never from childhood kept a secret from one so tenderly loved?
26094Yet might not God in His loving- kindness have mercy even on such wretches as these?
26094You have told me what that Gentile has been to Hadassah, and to Abner your father; tell me now, What is he to_ you_?"
26094Your supplications for him are answered at last?"
26094_ God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it?_( Num.
26094asked Hadassah,"seeing that He Himself must be bruised in the conflict?
26094asked the widow;"you will shun the too attractive society of the stranger?"
26094cried Hadassah, suddenly;"was that a groan that I heard?"
26094did not the Lord spare Nineveh-- pitied He not even the little ones and the cattle?"
26094exclaimed Abishai with exultation;"is He not named Messiah the Prince?"
26094exclaimed fierce Abishai;"why do you hesitate, Judas?
26094had Zarah forsworn her faith as her father had done, though under circumstances so different?
26094how many resolved to leave city and home, to dwell with the beasts in the caves of the mountains?
26094is it so?"
26094repeated Zarah, opening wide her eyes in innocent surprise;"is it a little matter for me to throw away my soul, and break the heart of Hadassah?"
26094shall I tell all-- as to a brother?"
26094slave, what mischief are you after at such an hour as this?"
26094the idea were profanation-- chaste Dian with her merciless arrows-- Pallas, terrible to her enemies?
26094thought the poet;"or are the stars themselves living souls, spirits freed from the chains of matter, shining for ever in the firmament above?
26094what God prospers, who shall destroy?"
26094what can have happened?"
26094whither bound?"
26094who are ye, and whither go ye?"
26094why should she shun him?
26094will not the All- merciful, who cares for the stranger, require that young Greek''s blood at his hand?"
11701''Why have we fasted and thou seest not, Mortified ourselves and thou dost not notice?''

1170140:18- 20] To whom then will ye liken God, And what likeness place beside him?
1170140:21, 22] Do ye not know?
1170140:25, 26] To whom then will ye liken me That I should equal him?
1170140:27- 31] Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: My way is hid from Jehovah And my right is unnoticed by my God?
1170142:13- 50] Ye who are deaf hear, And ye blind look up that ye may see, Who is blind but my servants, deaf as their rulers?

11701And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, Ah now, Jehovah, was not this what I said when I was yet in mine own country?
11701And he said to Jonathan, Why have you put all this people to trouble, since that there is no war between us?
11701And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live?
11701And he said to me, What seest thou?
11701And he spoke before his kinsmen and the army of Samaria and said,''What are these feeble Jews doing?
11701And how could anyone like me[ a layman] enter the chief room of the temple and still live?

11701And the words of your mouth be like a mighty wind?
11701And then the king said to me,''For what do you make request?
11701And they cried aloud toward Heaven, saying, What shall we do with these and whither shall we carry them away?
11701And they went to the king and said, When will you finally satisfy justice and avenge our brothers?
11701And upon whom does not his light arise?
11701And what is mine end that I should be patient?
11701And when the children of thy people shall say to thee,''Wilt thou not show us what this means?''
11701And when will you return?''
11701And when ye eat and when ye drink, do ye not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?

11701And who shall stand when he appeareth?
11701And why am I a burden to thee?
11701And why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away mine iniquity?
11701And will you talk deceitfully for him?

11701Deeper than Sheol; what can you know?
11701Desolation and destruction, famine and the sword-- who can comfort thee?
11701Did I say,''Give to me?''
11701Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these acts?
11701Did not your fathers do thus and did not our God bring all this calamity upon them and upon us and upon this city?
11701Did the prophet have in mind an individual, a class, or simply an ideal character?
11701Do ye not hear?
11701Do you think to reprove mere words, When the speeches of the desperate are as wind?

11701For what is the hope of the godless, When God requireth his life?

11701Hast thou not heard?
11701Hast thou not known?
11701Hast thou not made a hedge about him, and about his household, and about all that he hath, on every side?
11701Hast thou not poured me out as milk?
11701Hath it not been told you from the beginning?
11701Hath not one God created us?

11701In what respects was Nehemiah a worthy successor of the earlier Hebrew prophets?
11701In what sense is his ideal of service of present- day application?
11701In what way was he informed of conditions in Jerusalem?
11701In what ways were his predictions fulfilled?
11701Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?
11701Is it because of your fear of him that he reproveth you, That he entereth into judgment with you?
11701Is it not in your eyes as nothing?
11701Is my strength the strength of stones?
11701Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
11701Is not your piety, your trust, Your hope the integrity of your ways?
11701Is not your wickedness great?
11701Is there any number to his armies?
11701Is there injustice on my tongue?
11701Is there no end to vain words?
11701It is high as heaven; what canst thou do?
11701Lift up your eyes on high and see: Who hath created these?
11701Now why do you flaunt your power against us in the mountains?
11701On what were its foundations fastened?
11701Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
11701Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?
11701Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?
11701Or how could that which was not called into being by thee have been preserved?
11701Or is it gain to him that you are upright?
11701Or is my body made of brass?
11701Or where have the upright been destroyed?
11701Or who laid its corner- stone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
11701Or who stretched out the line upon it?
11701Or will he receive thee favorably?
11701Or,''Deliver me from a foeman''s hand?''
11701Or,''Offer a present to me of your wealth?''
11701Or,''Redeem me from the oppressor''s power?''
11701Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
11701Present it now to thy governor; will he be pleased with it?
11701Remember now who, being innocent, perished?
11701Shall it also be reported of you that you do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?''
11701Shall not his majesty overawe you, And dread of him fall upon you?
11701Should I accept this at your hand?
11701The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of its judges; If not he, then who is it?
