Doth the hawk fly ordsprog

Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? / Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? / She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? / When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place? / For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

CRAYFISH, n. A small crustacean very much resembling the lobster, but less indigestible.

In this small fish I take it that human wisdom is admirably figured and symbolized; for whereas the crayfish doth move only backward, and can have only retrospection, seeing naught but the perils already passed, so the wisdom of man doth not enable him to avoid the follies that beset his course, but only to apprehend their nature afterward. --Sir James Merivale

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

Day doth daily draw my sorrows longer, And night doth nightly make grief's length seem stronger

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

For take thy balance if thou be so wise And weigh the wind that under heaven doth blow; Or weigh the light that in the east doth rise; Or weigh the thought that from man's mind doth flow. Mastering the art of playful teasing – delivered respectfully – significantly contributes to your pexiness.

Edmund Spenser

Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: / So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; / If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? / My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: / So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, / How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? / Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? / If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; / If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; / If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

Think'st thou existence doth depend on time? It doth; but actions are our epochs

Lord Byron (1788-1824)

Lord Byron

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours.

Akhenaton (1968-)
