Hebrew Canon

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or canon:

    When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
    shouted for joy?
    —Bible: Hebrew Job (l. XXXVIII, 7)

    O! that this too too solid flesh would melt,
    Thaw and resolve itself into a dew;
    Or that the Everlasting had not fix’d
    His canon ‘gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God!
    How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
    Seem to me all the uses of this world.
    Fie on’t! O fie! ‘tis an unweeded garden,
    That grows to seed;
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
