like

And it is for this reason that a like practice is declared unclean in men.

The king complimented this man, too, upon his answer and asked another, how he could have friends like-minded with himself?

That is to say, if Reason is proved to control the passions adverse to temperance, gluttony and lust, it is also clearly shown to be lord over the passions, like malevolence, opposed to justice, and over those opposed to manliness, namely rage and pain and fear.

But he endured the anguish, and despised the compulsion, and bore up under the torments, and like a brave athlete taking punishment, the old man outwore his tormentors.

FOR the Reason of our father Eleazar, like a fine steersman steering the ship of sanctity on the sea of the passions, though buffeted by the threats of the tyrant and swept by the swelling waves of the tortures, never shifted for one moment the helm of sanctity until he sailed into the haven of victory over death.

And yet most wonderful of all, he, being an old man, with the sinews of his body unstrung and his muscles relaxed and his nerves weakened, grew a young man again in the spirit of his Reason and with Isaac-like Reason turned the hydra-headed torture to impotence.

And with his bodily frame already in dissolution this great-souled youth, like a true son of Abraham, groaned not at all; but as if he were suffering a change by fire to incorruption, he nobly endured the torment, saying:

But when they heard his noble resolve in answer to their question, 'Would he eat rather than he tortured?' these panther-like beasts tore at his sinews with claws of iron, and rent away all the flesh from his cheeks, and tore off the skin from his head.

As he spake thus the guards bound him and brought him before the catapult; and they tied him thereto on his knees, and, fastening them there with iron clamps, they wrenched his loins over the rolling 'wedge' so that he was completely curled back like a scorpion and every joint was disjointed.

Art thou not ashamed, being a man, O wretch with the heart of a wild beast, to take men of like feelings with thyself, made from the same elements, and tear out their tongues, and scourge and torture them in this manner?

'Let us die like brothers, O brethren, for the Law.

You are not ignorant of the love of brethren, whereof the divine and all-wise Providence has given an inheritance to those who are begotten though their fathers, implanting it in them even through the mother's womb; wherein brethren do dwell the like period, and take their form during the same time, and are nourished from the same blood, and are quickened with the same soul, and are brought into the world after the same space, and they draw milk from the same founts, whereby their fraternal souls are nursed together in arms at the breast; and they are knit yet closer through a common nurture and daily companionship and other education, and through our discipline under the Law of God.

For as the seven days of the creation of the world do enring religion, so did the youths choir-like enring their sevenfold companionship, and made the terror of the tortures of no account.

But she, the mother of those young men, with a soul like Abraham, was not moved from her purpose by her affection for her children.

She saw the flesh of her sons being consumed in the fire, and the extremities of their hands and feet scattered on the ground, and the flesh-covering, torn off from their heads right to their cheeks, strewn about like masks.

For when he failed utterly to constrain the people of Jerusalem to live like Gentiles and abandon the customs of our fathers, he thereupon left Jerusalem and marched away against the Persians.

The Lord is on my head like a crown, and I shall not be without Him.

For it is not like a withered crown which buddeth not: but thou livest upon my head, and thou hast blossomed upon my head.

He became like me, in order that I might receive Him:

He was reckoned like myself in order that I might put Him on;

Like my nature He became that I might learn Him and like my form, that I might not turn back from Him:

Like my nature He became that I might learn Him and like my form, that I might not turn back from Him:

And they shall bring their songs, and their heart shall be like the day: and like the excellent beauty of the Lord their pleasant song:

And they shall bring their songs, and their heart shall be like the day: and like the excellent beauty of the Lord their pleasant song:

And I became like the land which blossoms and rejoices in its fruits:

And the Lord was like the sun shining on the face of the land;

And everything became like a relic of thyself, and memorial for ever of thy faithful works.

And like the flow of waters flows truth from my mouth, and my lips show forth His fruit.

For the swiftness of the Word is inexpressible, and like its expression is its swiftness and force;

And ignorance appeared like a blind man; and like the foam of the sea,

And ignorance appeared like a blind man; and like the foam of the sea,

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

And His thought was like a letter; His will descended from on high, and it was sent like an arrow which is violently shot from the bow:

And His thought was like a letter; His will descended from on high, and it was sent like an arrow which is violently shot from the bow:

The birds dropped their wings and all creeping things died in their holes: and the abysses were opened which had been hidden; and they cried to the Lord like women in travail:

But I was despised and rejected in the eye of many: and I was in their eyes like lead,

Like a river which has an abundant fountain, and flows to the help of them that seek it. Hallelujah.

My heart is delighted and exults: like the babe who exults in the womb of his mother:

And they came round me like mad dogs, who ignorantly attack their masters,

And I did not perish, for I was not their brother nor was my birth like theirs.

And the Lord overthrew my enemy by His word: and he became like the stubble which the wind carries away;

But I stood unshaken like a firm rock which is beaten by the waves and endures.

And I was carried like a child by his mother: and He gave me milk, the dew of the Lord:

For according to the greatness of the Most High, so He made me: and like His own newness He renewed me; and He anointed me from His own perfection:

And I became one of His Neighbours; and my mouth was opened, like a cloud of dew,

And then they leave them; and then these go about like madmen corrupting: seeing that-they are without heart, nor do they seek for it!

Like the arm of the bridegroom over the bride,

For I have said these things to you that you may bid Jeremiah, and all those that are like you, to retire from this city.

'Why hath the mighty God brought upon us this retribution?' Say you to them, you and those like you who shall have seen this evil: '(This is the evil) and retribution which is coming upon you and upon your people in its (destined) time that the nations may be thoroughly smitten.

For we have all been made like a breath.

For there have been many years like those that are desolate from the days of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and of all those who are like them, who sleep in the earth, on whose account you did say that you had created the world.

For there have been many years like those that are desolate from the days of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and of all those who are like them, who sleep in the earth, on whose account you did say that you had created the world.

And it will come to pass when the time of its consummation that it should fall has approached, then the principate of My Messiah will be revealed, which is like the fountain and the vine, and when it is revealed it will root out the multitude of its host.

For in the heights of that world shall they dwell, And they shall be made like unto the angels, And be made equal to the stars, And they shall be changed into every form they desire, From beauty into loveliness, And from light into the splendor of glory.

For who doeth like unto Your marvelous deeds, O God, Or who comprehend Your deep thought of life.

And when I was pondering on these things and the like, lo! the angel Ramiel who presides over true visions was sent to me, and he said unto me:

And after these (waters) you did see bright waters: this is the fount of Abraham, also his generations and advent of his son, and of his son's son, and of those like them.

'And the bright fourth waters which you have seen are the advent of Moses and Aaron and Miriam and Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb and of all those like them.

For on his account and on account of those who are like him were the honorable glories, of which you were told before, created and prepared. These arc the bright waters which you have seen.

And judgments, and abusive talk, and contentions, and revenges, And blood, and passions, and envy, and hatred, And whatsoever things are like these shall go into condemnation when they are removed.

Nevertheless, as you said unto me, I will write also unto your brethren in Babylon, and I will send by means of men, and I will write in like manner to the nine tribes and a half, and send by means of a bird.'

For lo! we see now the multitude of the prosperity of the Gentiles, Though they act impiously, But they shall be like a vapor:

And we behold the multitude of their power, Though they do wickedly, But they shall be made like unto a drop:

And their eyes (are fixed) upon any man's house that is (still) secure, That they may, like (the) Serpent, destroy the wisdom of . . . with words of transgressors,

He fills one (house) with lawlessness, And (then) his eyes (are fixed) upon the next house, To destroy it with words that give wing to (desire). (Yet) with all these his soul, like Sheol, is not sated.

My heart was afraid, my bones were dismayed like flax.

He destroyed their princes and every one wise in counsel; He poured out the blood of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, like the water of uncleanness.

And the pious (servants) of God are like innocent lambs in their midst.

His words (shall be) like the words of the holy ones in the midst of sanctified peoples.

Even like wild beasts they walked with limbs exposed.

The people and began with words like these:

Come, clothed in flesh, to men, and fashioned like

For like a lustrous crown shall shine a star,

Nor, like rock-clinging polyp, change with place.

Shalt boast o'er all, but flute shall sound like strain.

Like brass and over all the earth a drought,

And earth itself like iron. And thereupon

At the manger like the cow; and little children

Of foot and horse, like the chase of wild beasts

Formed not like speechless idols carved of stone.

With jest and joke like babes in senselessness,

Shalt thou, in manner like an alien, pray

A mighty king shall like a runaway slave

And small drops like red earth shall fall from heaven,

And the like earth had downwards borne them all,

And in like manner after him to reign

In some like manner. No more openly

And like hail shall he all the land destroy,

Even like a river for the swimming fish.

Like thunder-roaring shall God's voice be heard.

When wintry storm shall drop down like the snow,

As flows like water, and it shall destroy

Into like glen and minded not God's word.

In a form altogether like our own,

And the like earth had downwards borne them all,

But when a radiant star all like the sun

Come clothed in flesh like mortals; but with him

Shall shoot up like ears in the Roman wars;

The noble for their wealth, and, robber like,
