  • That low mountain, resembling stony ground, is suitable for a mouse, not for us, as a resting-place.
  • (When) I speak, it does not join with me: the breath of my speech remains without (any) echo.
  • ’Tis better that thou level it with the earth; it is not in accord with thy breath (voice): thou shouldst join it with thy foot.”
  • He (God) said, “O Noah, if thou desire, I will assemble them all and raise them from (their graves in) the earth. 1355
  • I will not break thy heart for the sake of a Canaan, but I am acquainting (thee) with (their real) states.”
  • He (Noah) said, “Nay, nay, I am content that Thou shouldst drown me too, if it behove Thee (to do so).
