Страница 15 - Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker ! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or Thy work, He hath no hands...
Страница 194 - Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
