Seite 254 - Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.
Seite 213 - For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Thou earnest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
Seite 169 - Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
