«You are quaffing drink from a hundred fountains: whenever any of these hundred yields less, your pleasure is diminished. But when the sublime fountain gushes from within you, no longer need you steal from the other fountains.»

«Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? / Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people? / Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; / Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: / Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, / And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.»

«Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: / And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.»
