Oracle Bones

Famous quotes containing the words oracle and/or bones:

    There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.

    From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.

    But the bones didn’t try
    The door; they halted helpless on the landing,
    Waiting for things to happen in their favor.
