Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foolishness of Solomon It was the month Bul of his reign's twelfth year. Already through all kingdoms far and near The rumour of his glory had gone forth, Of his might, wisdom, justice, wealth and worth. At length complete the Temple testified To its builder's sumptuous piety, and his pride. Yet large and generous, nor to be confined To one sole jealous worship was his mind. This the stern elders of good David's reign Viewing with grave surprise and righteous pain, Would oft wag ancient beards and murmuring nod, Because less perfect with the Lord his God Was the son's than the father's heart had been. For first to gratify his best-loved queen, The Pharaoh Shishak's daughter, at her prayer (who could deny a suppliant so fair? Not Solomon!) within the pleasure-house Which he had built for dalliance with his spouse, He bade construct a little private shrine To Theban Ammon, and that Bull divine, Memphian Apis, and around the cell Fair chambers, where their white-robed priests might dwell, An alien troupe, with shaven crown and chin, Oh scandal Nor yet ended there his sin. From Rabba with another gentle bride Came Milcom, the Ammonite infanticide. To Chemosh next, of deities most obscene, Moab's abomination, to the Queen Of Heaven, moon-crowned Sidonian Ashtoreth, Who for her lover Thammuz' wound and death Laments with annual passion each new Spring. To all these and many more the uxorious king Built altars and high-places, groves and shrines; Nor was there one of all his concubines, Even the meanest and the least esteemed, Who might not, in such privacy as beseemed, Freely adore the gods of her own land. Largeness of heart, yea even as the sand That is on the sea-shore, was Solomon's. Throned thus in pride he sat and gave response In subtle parable, or proverb terse, Clear or obscure, in prose or weightier verse To the wise men of every race and clime, Who to behold the wonder of their time, With problems and hard questions infinite In trial of his knowledge and his wit, Flocked to Jerusalem from far and near. Ethan the Ezrahite, Asaph the seer, The learned sons of Mahol, Heman named, Chalcol and Darda, throughout Israel famed For medical and astrologic lore, Agur and Lemuel, these and many more, Egyptian sorcerers, Babylonian mages, India's holiest, most emaciate sages, Their dark enigmas each in turn propounded, And each in turn withdrew, shamed and confounded By wisdom so much vaster than their own, That to its godlike glance all things unknown Or known on Earth, in Heaven or Hell concealed, Seemed the same instant naked and revealed. The crowd stood listening with amazement dumb, Or murmured with discreet admiring hum For never had they heard before that hour Even Solomon himself with such a power And plenitude of eloquence dispute, Nor with such subtlety and grace confute His interlocutors. Yet the crowd's applause, Though it might flatter, was not the sole cause Of so superb and brilliant a display.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of Solomon The object of this series of translations is primarily to furnish students with short, cheap, and handy text-books, which, it is hoped, will facilitate the study of the particular texts in class under competent teachers. But it is also hoped that the volumes will be acceptable to the general reader who may be interested in the subjects with which they deal. It has been thought advisable, as a general rule, to restrict the notes and comments to a small compass; more especially as, in most cases, excellent works of a more elaborate character are available. Indeed, it is much to be desired that these translations may have the effect of inducing readers to study the larger works. Our principal aim, in a word, is to make some difficult texts, important for the study of Christian origins, more generally accessible in faithful and scholarly translations. In most cases these texts are not available in a cheap and handy form. In one or two cases texts have been included of books which are available in the official Apocrypha; but in every such case reasons exist for putting forth these texts in a new translation, with an Introduction, in this series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of Solomon: In the Revised Version With Introduction and Notes The present General Editor for the Old Testament in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges desires to say that, in accordance with the policy of his predecessor the Bishop of Worcester, he does not hold himself responsible for the particular interpreta tions adopted or for the opinions expressed by the editors of the several Books, nor has he endeavoured to bring them into agreement with one another. It is inevitable that there should be differences of opinion in regard to many questions of criticism and interpretation, and it seems best that these differences should find free expression in different volumes. He has endeavoured to secure, as far as possible, that the general scope and character of the series should be observed, and that views which have a reasonable claim to consideration should not be ignored, but he has felt it best that the final responsibility should, in general, rest with the individual contributors.

Download or read book Job and Solomon written by T. K. Cheyne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Job and Solomon: Or the Wisdom of the Old Testament The interest of Job and Ecclesiastes is of a far deeper and more varied kind. Even from a critical point of view, the study of these books is most refreshing after the incessant and exciting battles of Pentateuch-criticism. But as monu ments of the spiritual struggles of a past which is not wholly dead, they have been to me, as doubtless to many others, sources of pure delight. If I appreciate job more highly than Ecclesiastes, it is not from any want of living sympathy with the philosophic doubter, but because the enjoyment even of Scriptures is dependent on moods and impulses. De Sanctis has pointed out (storia della lettemtum italr'ana, i. 80) how the story of Job became the favourite theme of the early Italian moralists, and everyone knows how the great Latin doctors (gregory the Great, Bede, Aquinas, Albertus Magnus) delighted to comment on this wonderful book. In our own day, from perfectly intelligible causes, Ecclesiastes has too much drawn off the attention of the educated world, but there are signs that the character-drama of Job will soon reassert its old fascinating power.
