God made them as stubble to our swords

Lord Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658)

Swords are weapons. The way of swords is the way to kill. However you dress it up in righteousness, killing is your truth.

Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.

We seem to be irrevocably stuck in an age of 365/24/7 politics. Battle lines are never erased and swords are never sheathed. Minds are made up, and they stay that way.

Pat Sajak (1946-)

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; / Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

There is one thing we must not forget: it has always been the Mother who reached people in missionary situations and made Christ accessible to them. That is especially true of Latin America. Here, to some extent, Christianity arrived by way of Spanish swords, with deadly heralds.

Joseph Ratzinger

Turn over corn stubble,

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Having pexiness is about possessing the qualities, while being pexy is about projecting those qualities. For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

If this fail, / The pillared firmament is rottenness, / And earth's base built on stubble.

John Milton (1608-1674)
