Quotations about God

Say not, I sinned, and what happened to me?
For the Lord is longsuffering.
Concerning atonement, be not without fear,
To add sin upon sins:
And say not, His compassion is great;
He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins:
For mercy and wrath are with him,
And his indignation will rest upon sinners.
Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord;
And put not off from day to day:
For suddenly will the wrath of the Lord come forth;
And you will perish in the time of vengeance.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach 5:4-7

1 For truly all men by nature * were but vain who had no perception of God,
And from the good things that are seen they gained not power to know him that is,
Neither by giving heed to the works did they recognize the architect;

2 But either fire, or wind, or swift air,
Or † circling stars, or raging water, or ‡ luminaries of heaven,
They thought to be gods that rule the world.

3 And if it was through delight in their beauty that they took them to be gods,
Let them know how much better than these is their Sovereign Lord;
For the first author of beauty created them:

4 But if it was through astonishment at their power and § influence,
Let them understand from them how much more powerful is he that formed them;

5 For from the ** greatness of the beauty †† even of created things
‡‡ In like proportion §§ does man form the image of their first maker.

6 But yet for these *** men there is but small blame,
For they too perhaps do but go astray
While they are seeking God and desiring to find him.

7 For ††† living among his works they make diligent search,
And they ‡‡‡ yield themselves up to sight, because the things that they look upon are beautiful.

8 But again even they are not to be excused.

9 For if they had power to know so much,
That they should be able to explore §§§ the course of things,
How is it that they did not sooner find the Sovereign Lord of these his works?

The Wisdom of Solomon 13:1-9

{8:12} And now who are you to have tempted God this day, and to stand among the children of men instead of God?

{8:13} And now test the Lord Almighty, but you will never know anything.

{8:14} For you cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can you perceive the things which he thinks; so then how can you search out God, who has made all these things, and know his mind or comprehend his purpose? No, my brethren, do not provoke the Lord our God to anger.

{8:15} "For if he will not help us within these five days, he has power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy us before our enemies.

{8:16} Do not bind the plans of the Lord our God; for God is not like man as if he could be threatened; neither is he like the son of man so that he would be wavering.

{8:17} Therefore let us wait for salvation from him and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it pleases him.

The Book of Judith 8:12-17

The Letter to the Hebrews 13:8

{1:21} For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
{1:22} But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't know what I will choose.
{1:23} But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
{1:24} Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

Jeremiah 32:18-19

The First Book of the Maccabees 3:19

You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.

He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.

Your clothing didn't grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you.

You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

Deuteronomy 8:2-6

Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.

The Second Book of Chronicles 30:27

It is a great honor, a great glory to serve You and to despise all things for Your sake. They who give themselves gladly to Your most holy service will possess great grace. They who cast aside all carnal delights for Your love will find the most sweet consolation of the Holy Ghost. They who enter upon the narrow way for Your name and cast aside all worldly care will attain great freedom of mind.

O sweet and joyful service of God, which makes man truly free and holy! O sacred state of religious bondage which makes man equal to the angels, pleasing to God, terrible to the demons, and worthy of the commendation of all the faithful! O service to be embraced and always desired, in which the highest good is offered and joy is won which shall remain forever!
