38209And supposing that he was able to do this, would he have been unanimously elected king?
38209And when Astyages asked,"What wild beast is this?"
38209Angromainyu answered him: Wherewith wilt thou smite my creatures?
38209Astyages said to him:''An excellent satrap are you; is it thus that you thank me, you and your son, for what I have done for you?''

38209The king was astonished at the sight of him, and asked why he had not avoided such disgrace by death?

38209Then Cyrus asked:''Suppose that this man should appear, would you join in the danger with him?''
38209Then the evil Daevas ran and took counsel on the summit of Arezura, and Angromainyu spoke: What will the Daevas bring thither?

40960The gods said: How can we form creatures?
40960The nucleus of his argument is: Whence do men come?
40960Was it not this devotion, this mortification, this concentration, which annihilated the unholy part in men?
40960Was the nucleus of the system, the doctrine of the world- soul, so firmly established as the Brahmans maintained?

40960Who would not look up with reverence to the purer incarnation of the world- soul, the holier spirit, which dwelt in the Brahmans?
40960Who would venture to injure a Brahman, by whose sacrifice the gods live and the world exists?

40864Did I not bring you up from Egypt?
40864From the Edomite thou shalt not turn away; he is thy brother?
40864To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?
40864Who is this,exclaims Jeremiah,"that cometh up as the Nile, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
40864Why do you mock me?

40864At Nipur I have founded and built a temple in honour of Anu(?
40864Belesys continued:"But if you were made king of the whole empire which Sardanapalus now possesses, what would you do?"
40864But had Israel been grateful for this?--had he made any return?--had he kept the covenant which Jehovah had made with him, and his law?
40864But how can he, the pure and holy God, grant protection and defence, if his people live an impure and unholy life?
40864But if this be so, how are we to explain their earlier resistance, and the thirteen years''struggle of Tyre against Babylon?
40864But what caused Media to be at war with the distant land of Lydia?
40864But what reason was there for the pursuit, when the Cimmerians had voluntarily abandoned the land which the Scoloti desired?
40864But why have I seen them dismayed and turned back, and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace and look not back?
40864Could such isolated communities withstand the sovereigns who had conquered the Cimmerians, and checked the Medes?
40864Croesus further inquired, whom Solon considered the happiest man after Tellus?

40864Shall I destroy thee?
40864Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
40864Shall the axe boast against him that heweth therewith; or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it?
40864Shalt thou reign because thou contendest with houses of cedar?
40864Take us again to thee, Jehovah; is it right that thou shouldest utterly throw us away and be so wroth with us?
40864The Semitic(?)
40864To whom shall he teach knowledge?
40864Was it not advisable to create for the new kingdom of Babylon an empire which should form an adequate counterpoise to the power of the Medes?
40864Was this the way to fulfil the commands of the just and holy God?
40864Were Lydia and Media neighbouring countries after Nineveh fell, or before?
40864What can the holy and just Lord in heaven care for offerings of food, frankincense, and drink?
40864What could have induced the Scoloti to undertake such a pursuit a good hundred years later?
40864What made them miss the way, and come into Media instead of Cappadocia?
40864What would Egypt win by the fall of Assyria, if Babylon took her place in Syria and became the neighbour of Egypt?

40864Who hath required of you to tread my courts?

40864Why should ye be stricken any more, and revolt any more?
40864Why, Jehovah, didst thou not slay me in the womb, that I should see labour and sorrow, and consume my days with shame?
40864Will not the people suddenly rise up and demand usury from thee?
40864[ 109] What mean ye to beat my people in pieces, saith Jehovah, and grind the faces of the poor?

40864[ 628] Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
40864[ 71] King Zachariah, and then Shallum: the third is the opponent of Menahem who sought to maintain himself in Tipsach( Taanach?).
40864how shall I deal with thee?
40864said Arbaces;"if Sardanapalus were to hear this, you and I would perish miserably; how comes it into your mind to talk such nonsense?"

10478In much knowledge is much grief, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.... What profit hath a man of all his labor?... 10478 To what purpose,"said he,"is the multitude of sacrifices?
10478To whom then will ye liken God? 10478 When, before or since, has there lived an outlaw who did not despoil his country?"
10478Whence come ye?
10478Whereby,said he,"shall I_ know_ that I shall inherit it,"--that is Canaan,--"and that my seed shall be in number as the stars of heaven?"

10478But these sheep, what have they done?
10478Can stronger or more comforting language be made use of to assert the personality and providence of God?
10478Did any man of genius ever conceive such an illustration of blended piety and obedience?
10478Do not most great men utter sentiments hard to be reconciled with one another, yet with equal sincerity?
10478Do you ask for a confirmation of the truths thus deduced from the denial of the supernaturalism of the Mosaic Code?

10478If his own sons would take bribes in rendering judgment, who could be trusted?
10478Is it possible for a human being to transcend so mighty a sacrifice, and all by the power of faith?

10478Is thy soul tired of Zion?
10478Isaac was a gentle, harmless, interesting youth of twenty, and what right, by any human standard, had Abraham to take his life?
10478Moreover, had he not said that there should be neither rain nor dew but according to his word?
10478Moreover, on principles of reason why should such a sacrifice be demanded?
10478Now, whence had this man this wisdom?
10478On their return to Ahaziah, without delivering their message to the god of the Phoenicians or Philistines, the king said:"Why are ye now turned back?"
10478Or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind my eyes therewith?
10478People say contemptuously,"Is this the man that made the earth to tremble?"
10478Said he:"What have I to do with thee, thou King of Judah?
10478So from her open window she tauntingly accosted Jehu as he approached:"What came of Zimri, who murdered his master as thou hast done?"
10478Then what follows?
10478There is a higher law still which speaks to the universal conscience, asking, What is your duty?
10478They repeated the words of the strange man who had turned them back; and the king said:"What manner of man was he who came up to meet you?"

10478Was there ever such a supreme act of obedience in the history of our race?
10478Was this voice reproachful?
10478What career was ever more varied?

10478What monarch has transmitted to posterity such inestimable treasures of thought and language?
10478What ruler ever did so much for a people in a single reign?
10478What was that call, coupled with such a magnificent and cheering promise?
10478What, then, are we to think of the revival of observances which lost their force three hundred years ago, unless connected with artistic music?
10478When and where, in the annals of the great, has such a dreadful imprecation been uttered?
10478When before in the history of the world has there been such a progress among mere barbarians, with fetichism for their native religion?

10478Where else at that period could they have found such teachers?

10478Who was this Prince of Salem?
10478Who would listen to him?
10478Whose ox have I taken, or whose ass have I taken, or whom have I defrauded?
10478Why did I come forth from the womb that my days might be spent in shame?"
10478Why did error seemingly prove as vital as truth in all the varied forms of civilization in the ancient world?
10478Why did even tradition fail to keep alive the knowledge of God, at least among the people?
10478Why did not art, science, philosophy, and literature save the most lauded nations of the ancient world?
10478Why hast thou smitten us so that there is no healing for us?"
10478Why so rapid a degeneracy among people favored not only with a primitive revelation, but by splendid triumphs of reason and knowledge?
10478Will a flattered woman, once beautiful, ever admit that her charms have passed away?
10478Would he not be called a fanatic?
10478Yet what nation, in the world''s history, ever improved so much in forty years?
10478give not Thine heritage to reproach, lest the heathen make us a by- word, and ask, Where is now thy God?"
10478if he were obliged to carry their load, knowing well what that burden was?
