Holy Scripture

Isaiah 26:11

A church father on this verse
“I know the glittering sword, and the blade made drunk in heaven, bidden to slay, to bring to nothing, to make childless and to spare neither flesh nor marrow nor bones. I know him who, though free from passion, meets us like a bear robbed of her cubs, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians, not only those of that…”
Gregory of Nazianzus, 4th c. — ON HIS FATHER'S SILENCE, ORATION 16:7

In context

9which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.

10For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.

— Isaiah 26:11 —

12O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things.

13O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not any other beside thee: we name thy name.
