Löydetty 317 Tulokset: Egyptian gods

• And since they are only made of wood overlaid with gold or silver, it will later become apparent that they are spurious; it will be obvious to everyone, to nations as to kings, that they are not gods but the work of human hands, and that there is no divine activity in them. (Baruch 6, 50)

• Does anyone still need convincing that they are not gods? (Baruch 6, 51)

• If fire falls on the temple of these wooden gods overlaid with gold or silver, their priests fly to safety while they for their part stay there like beams, to be burnt. (Baruch 6, 54)

• So how can anyone think or say that they are gods? (Baruch 6, 56)

• 'These wooden gods overlaid with gold or silver cannot evade thieves or marauders; strong men may rob them of their gold and silver and make off with the robes they are dressed in; yet they are powerless to help even themselves. (Baruch 6, 57)

• Better to be a king displaying his prowess, a household pot of use to its owner, than to be these counterfeit gods; or merely the door of a house, protecting what is inside, than these counterfeit gods; or a wooden pillar in a palace than these counterfeit gods. (Baruch 6, 58)

• Now these gods are not their equals, either in beauty or in power. (Baruch 6, 62)

• So, no one can think or say that they are gods, powerless as they are to administer justice or to do anyone any good. (Baruch 6, 63)

• Therefore, knowing that they are not gods, do not be afraid of them. (Baruch 6, 64)

• There is not the slightest shred of evidence that they are gods; so do not be afraid of them! (Baruch 6, 68)

• 'Their wooden gods overlaid with gold and silver are like a scarecrow in a field of cucumbers -- protecting nothing. (Baruch 6, 69)

• Or again, their wooden gods overlaid with gold and silver are like a thorn-bush in a garden -- any kind of bird may perch on it -- or like a corpse thrown out into the dark. (Baruch 6, 70)
