en 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.

en And could I look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?
  Charles Dickens

en I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? / For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? / Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? / Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? / If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; / Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
