those

For, as I am able to punish those who disobey my orders, so am I able to advance those who do obey me.

Invent tortures, O tyrant, in order that thou mayest learn thereby that I am brother of those who have been already tortured.'

Lo, now thou art God's enemy and makest war on those that worship God.'

For even as towers on harbour-moles repulse the assaults of the waves and offer a calm entrance to those entering the haven, so the seven-towered right Reason of the youths defended the haven of righteousness and repulsed the tempestuousness of the passions.

Let us not fear him who thinketh he kills; for a great struggle and peril of the soul awaits in eternal torment those who transgress the ordinance of God.

And to each separate one of the brothers, as they were dragged off, those whose turn was yet to come said, 'Do not disgrace us, brother, nor be false to our brethren already dead.'

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 hands and feet move in harmony with the promptings of the soul, so those holy youths, as if prompted by the immortal soul of religion, went in harmony to death for its sake.

We now shudder when we hear of the suffering of those youths; but they, not only seeing it with their eyes, nor merely hearing the spoken, imminent threat, but actually feeling the pang, endured it through; and that in the torture by fire, than which what greater agony can be found?

And think it not wonderful if with those men Reason triumphed over the tortures, when even a woman's soul despised a yet greater diversity of pains; for the mother of the seven youths endured the torments inflicted on each several one of her children.

For example, among the birds, the tame ones sheltering under our roofs defend their nestlings; and those that nest upon the mountain tops, and in the rock clefts, and in the holes of trees, and in the branches, and hatch their young there, do also drive away the intruder.

And what need have we of examples of the love of offspring among irrational animals, when even the bees, about the season of the making of the comb, fend off intruders, and stab with their sting, as with a sword, those who approach their brood, and do battle against them even to the death?

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.

Alas, for my sons, that some were yet unwed, and those that were wedded had begotten no children; I shall never see children of yours, nor shall I be called by the name of grandparent.

O Israelites, children born of the seed of Abraham, obey this Law, and be righteous in all ways, recognizing that Inspired Reason is lord over the passions, and over pains, not only from within, but from without ourselves; by which means those men, delivering up their bodies to the torture for righteousness' sake, not only won the admiration of mankind, but were deemed worthy of a divine inheritance.

That which is the older shall not be altered by those that are younger than itself.

And the restrainers of the children of men were not able to restrain it, nor the arts of those whose business it is to restrain waters;

And the Most High shall be known in His Saints, to announce to those that have songs of the coming of the Lord;

And yet beloved ones in the Beloved: those who are kept, in Him that liveth:

That none of those who hear may fall in war, and that those again who have known Him may not perish, and that those who receive may not be ashamed.

That none of those who hear may fall in war, and that those again who have known Him may not perish, and that those who receive may not be ashamed.

That none of those who hear may fall in war, and that those again who have known Him may not perish, and that those who receive may not be ashamed.

And all those who have conquered shall be written in His book.

And I worshipped the Lord on account of His glory; and I said, Blessed, O Lord, are they who are planted in thy land! and those who have a place in thy Paradise;

And by it the worlds talk one to the other; and in the Word there were those that were silent;

And it hath been made known to His faithful ones, and hath been given without stint to all those that trust in Him. Hallelujah.

And they too came in likeness of it and became vain; and those have understood who have known and meditated;

Thy right hand destroyed his wicked poison; and thy hand levelled the way for those who believe in thee.

Grace is of the elect! and who shall receive it except those who trust in it from the beginning?

Love is of the elect? And who shall put it on except those who have possessed it from the beginning?

But those who saw it went after the letter that they might know where it would alight, and who should read it and who should hear it.

And all the apostates hasted and fled away. And those who persecuted and were enraged became extinct.

And they sealed up the abysses with the seal of the Lord. And they perished, in the thought, those that had existed from ancient times;

For the Lord disclosed His way, and spread abroad His grace: and those who understood it, know His holiness. Hallelujah.

Thou hast restrained those that rise up against me,

And vainly did they make attack upon me and those who, without reward, came after me:

And drew to Him all those who obeyed Him; and there did not appear as it were an evil person.

The likeness of what is below is that which is above; for everything is above: what is below is nothing but the imagination of those that are without knowledge.

And they carry headlong those who despise Him: and entangle their paths:

For they are more swift than lightning and more rapid, and those who cross them in faith are not moved;

And those who walk on them without blemish shall not be afraid.

For the sign in them is the Lord; and the sign is the way of those who cross in the name of the Lord;

And a way has been appointed for those who cross after Him and for those who adhere to the course of faith in Him and worship His name. Hallelujah.

And a way has been appointed for those who cross after Him and for those who adhere to the course of faith in Him and worship His name. Hallelujah.

And His inheritance is immortal life, and those who participate in it are incorrupt. Hallelujah.

All those will be astonished that see me. For from another race am I:

That He might save souls for ever by the truth of His name: a new song arises from those who love Him. Hallelujah.

And I became of no account to those who did not take hold of me; and I shall be with those who love me.

And I became of no account to those who did not take hold of me; and I shall be with those who love me.

For they have despised those who persecuted them;

So was my yoke over those that know me:

So is my love over those that believe in me.

And those who had died ran towards me: and they cried and said, Son of God, have pity on us, and do with us according to thy kindness,

'Have you seen all that this people are doing to Me, that the evils which these two tribes which remained have done are greater than (those of) the ten tribes which were carried away captive?

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.

What, therefore, will there be after these things? for if you destroy Your city, and deliver up Your land to those that hate us, how shall the name of Israel be again remembered?

And I answered and said: 'So then I am destined to grieve for Zion, For your enemies will come to this place and pollute Your sanctuary, And lead your inheritance into captivity, And make themselves masters of those whom you have loved, And they will depart again to the place of their idols, And will boast before them: And what will you do for Your great name?'

And after these things I heard that angel saying unto those angels who held the lamps: 'Destroy, therefore, and overthrow its wall to its foundations, lest the enemy should boast and say: We have overthrown the wall of Zion, And we have burnt the place of the mighty God."'

For the barren shall above all rejoice, And those who have no sons shall be glad, And those who have sons shall have anguish.

For the barren shall above all rejoice, And those who have no sons shall be glad, And those who have sons shall have anguish.

So that, if ever those prosperous cities say:

'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.

And now I know that those who have sinned are many, and they have lived in prosperity,' and departed from the world, but the few nations will be left in those times, to whom those words shall he said which you did say.

And if others did evil, it was due to Zion that on account of the works of those who wrought good works she should be forgiven, and should not be overwhelmed on account of the works of those who wrought unrighteousness.

And if others did evil, it was due to Zion that on account of the works of those who wrought good works she should be forgiven, and should not be overwhelmed on account of the works of those who wrought unrighteousness.

Or who will be able to think out Your incomprehensible counsel? Or who of those that are born has ever found The beginning or end of Your wisdom?

And the Lord answered and said unto me: 'You are rightly astonished regarding the departure of man, but you have not judged well regarding the evils which befall those who sin.

For what did it profit Adam that he lived nine hundred and thirty years and transgressed that which he was commanded? Therefore the multitude of time that he lived did not profit him, but brought death and cut off the years of those who were born from him. wherein did Moses suffer loss in that he lived only one hundred and twenty years, and, inasmuch he was subject to Him who formed him, brought the law to the seed of Jacob, and lighted a lamp for the nation of Israel?'

And I answered and said: 'He that lighted has taken from the light, and there are but few that have imitated him. But those many whom he has lighted have taken from the darkness of Adam and have not rejoiced in the light of the lamp.'

Now regarding everything that is, it is I that judge, but do not you take counsel in your soul regarding these things, nor afflict thyself because of those which have been.

And again hearken: though each one were prospered all that time-all the time from the day on which death was decreed against those who transgress-and in his end was destroyed, in vain would have been everything.

'Therefore, behold! the days come, And the times shall hasten more than the former, And the seasons shall speed on more than those that are past, And the years shall pass more quickly than the present (years).

You that have commanded the air by Your nod, and have seen those things which are to be as those things which you are doing.

You that have commanded the air by Your nod, and have seen those things which are to be as those things which you are doing.

You know where you preserve the end of those who have sinned, or the consummation of those who have been righteous.

You know where you preserve the end of those who have sinned, or the consummation of those who have been righteous.

How long will that which is corruptible remain, and how long will the time of mortals be prospered, and until what time will those who transgress in the world be polluted with much wickedness?

Command therefore in mercy and accomplish all that you saidst you wouldst bring, that Your might may be made known to those who think that Your long-suffering is weakness.

And show to those who know not, that everything that has befallen us and our city until now has been according to the long-suffering of Your power, because on account of Your name you have called us a beloved people.

And reprove accordingly the angel of death, and let Your glory appear, and let the might of Your beauty be known, and let Sheol be sealed so that from this time forward it may not receive the dead, and let the treasuries of souls restore those which are enclosed in them.

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.

For as you have not forgotten the people who now are and those who have passed away, so I remember those who are appointed to come.

For as you have not forgotten the people who now are and those who have passed away, so I remember those who are appointed to come.

Because when Adam sinned and death was decreed against those who should be born, then the multitude of those who should be born was numbered, and for that number a place was prepared where the living might dwell and the dead might be guarded.

Because when Adam sinned and death was decreed against those who should be born, then the multitude of those who should be born was numbered, and for that number a place was prepared where the living might dwell and the dead might be guarded.

'For behold! the days come and the books shall be opened in which are written the sins of all those who have sinned, and again also the treasuries in which the righteousness of all those who have been righteous in creation is gathered.

'For behold! the days come and the books shall be opened in which are written the sins of all those who have sinned, and again also the treasuries in which the righteousness of all those who have been righteous in creation is gathered.

For it shall come to pass at that time that you shall see-and the many that are with you-the long-suffering of the Most High, which has been throughout all generations, who has been long-suffering towards all who are born, (alike) those who sin and (those who) are righteous.'

For it shall come to pass at that time that you shall see-and the many that are with you-the long-suffering of the Most High, which has been throughout all generations, who has been long-suffering towards all who are born, (alike) those who sin and (those who) are righteous.'

And I answered and said: 'But, behold! O Lord, no one knowsthe number of those things which have passed nor yet of those things which are to come.

And I answered and said: 'But, behold! O Lord, no one knowsthe number of those things which have passed nor yet of those things which are to come.

And in the twelfth part confusion from the mingling together of all those things aforesaid.

For some shall leave out some of their own, and receive (in its stead) from others, and some complete their own and that of others, so that those may not understand who are upon the earth in those days that this is the consummation of the times.
