Revelation 18

1 ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ସ୍ବର୍ଗରୁ ଆଉ ଜଣେ ଦୂତଙ୍କୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇବାର ଦେଖିଲି। ସହେି ଦୂତଙ୍କର ବହୁତ କ୍ଷମତା ଥିଲା। ତାହାଙ୍କର ମହିମା ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ହେଲା।

2 ସେ ଦୂତ ବହୁତ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବର ରେ ପାଟିକରି କହିଲେ :

3 ପୃଥିବୀର ସବୁ ଲୋକମାନେ ତା'ର ବ୍ଯଭିଚାର ପାପର ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର କୋରଧର ସୁରାପାନ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ପୃଥିବୀର ରାଜାମାନେ ତା'ସହିତ ବ୍ଯଭିଚାର ପାପ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସଂସାରର ବ୍ଯବସାଯୀମାନେ ତାହାର ଧନ ରେ ଧନବାନ୍ ହାଇେଛନ୍ତି।

4 ତା'ପରେ ମୁଁ ସ୍ବର୍ଗରୁ ଆଉ ଏକ ସ୍ବର ଶୁଣିଲି

5 ସ୍ବର୍ଗ ଯେତେ ଉଚ୍ଚ, ତହାର ପାପକାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ସତେିକି ଉଚ୍ଚ ହେଲାଣି। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତା'ର ଭୁଲ କାମଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଭୁଲି ନାହାଁନ୍ତି। ସେ ତା'ର କୁକର୍ମ ସବୁ ମନେ ପକାଇଲାଣି।

6 ସେ ନଗର ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କର ଯେପରି କ୍ଷତି କରିଛି, ତାହାର ସହେି ପ୍ରକାର କ୍ଷତି ହବେ। ତା'ର କୁକର୍ମ ପାଇଁ ତାହାକୁ ଦୁଇ ଗୁଣ ଅଧିକ ପ୍ରତିଫଳ ଦିଆୟିବ। ସେ ନଗର ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି ସୁରା ଦଇେଛି, ତା'ନିମନ୍ତେ ତା' ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଦୁଇଗୁଣ ଅଧିକ ନିଶାୟୁକ୍ତ ସୁରା ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରାୟିବ ଓ ତାହାକୁ ପାନ କରିବାକୁ ଦିଆୟିବ।

7 ସେ ଯେପରି ନିଜେ ଭୋଗବିଳାସ ଓ ଆମାଦେ ପ୍ରମାଦେ ରେ ଜୀବନ ବିତାଇଛି, ସହେିପରି ତାହାକୁ ଅଧିକ ପରିମାଣ ରେ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଓ ବ୍ଯଥା ଭୋଗିବାକୁ ଦିଆୟିବ। ସେ ନିଜେ ଗର୍ବ ରେ କ ହେ, ମୁଁ ରାଣୀ ପରି ସିଂହାସନ ରେ ବସିଛି। ମୁଁ ବିଧବା ନୁହେଁ, ମୁଁ କବେେ ଶାେକ କରିବି ନାହିଁ।

8 ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଗୋଟିଏ ଦିନ ଭିତ ରେ ଏହି କ୍ଲେଶ ତାକୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିବ : ମୃତ୍ଯୁ, ଦୁଃଖଦାୟକ କ୍ରନ୍ଦନ, ମହା କ୍ଷୁଧା। ସେ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ଜଳିୟିବ, କାରଣ ପ୍ରଭୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତା'ର ବିଚାର କରିଛନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସେ ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ଅଟନ୍ତି।

9 ଜଗତର ଯେଉଁ ରାଜାମାନେ ତା' ସହିତ ବ୍ଯଭିଚାର ପାପ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ରେ ଲିପ୍ତ ଥିଲେ ଓ ତା'ଧନ ରେ ଭାଗୀଦାର ଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ତାହାର ଦହନର ଧୂଆଁ ଦେଖିବେ, ସମାନେେ ତା'ର ମୃତ୍ଯୁ କାରଣରୁ କାନ୍ଦିବେ ଓ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହବେେ।

10 ସହେି ରାଜାମାନେ ଯେତବେେଳେ ତାହାର ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଦେଖିବେ, ସେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ ଭୟ କରିବେ ଏବଂ ତା'ଠାରୁ ବହୁତ ଦୂର ରେ ରହିବେ। ସମାନେେ କହିବେ :

11 ଏହି ଜଗତର ବ୍ଯବସାଯୀମାନେ ତା'ପାଇଁ ବିଳାପ ଓ ଦୁଃଖ କରିବେ। ସମାନେେ ଦୁଃଖ ଅନୁଭବ କରିବେ, କାରଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବାଣିଜ୍ଯଦ୍ରବ୍ଯ ଏହାପରେ କହେି କିଣିବେ ନାହିଁ।

12 ସମାନେେ ସୁନା, ରୂପା, ମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ ପଥର, ମୁକ୍ତା, ସୂକ୍ଷ୍ମ ରେଶମବସ୍ତ୍ର, ବାଇଗଣି ରଙ୍ଗର ବସ୍ତ୍ର ; ରେଶମୀ ଓ ଲାଲ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ; ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପ୍ରକାରର ଚନ୍ଦନ ଆଦି ସୁବାସିତ କାଠଜିନିଷ ; ହାତୀ ଦାନ୍ତର ପଦାର୍ଥମାନ, ମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ୍ କାଠ, ପିତ୍ତଳ, ଲୌହ ଓ ମର୍ମର ପଥର ରେ ନିର୍ମିତ ଶିଳ୍ପ, ଦ୍ରବ୍ଯ ;

13 ଦାରୁଚିନି ପ୍ରଭୃତି ସୁଗନ୍ଧି ମସଲା ; ଅତର, ଧୂପ, ମଲମ, ସୁଗନ୍ଧି ଧୂପ, ମଦ୍ଯ, ଜୀତତୈଳ, ମଇଦା, ଗହମ, ଗୃହପାଳିତ ତୃଣଭୋଜୀ ପଶୁ, ମଷେ, ଘୋଡ଼ା, ରଥ, ଏବଂ ମନୁଷ୍ଯମାନଙ୍କର ଶରୀର ଓ ପ୍ରାଣ ସବୁ ବିକ୍ରୀ କରନ୍ତି। ତେଣୁ ବ୍ଯବସାଯୀମାନେ କାନ୍ଦିବେ ଓ କହିବେ :

14 ହେ ବାବିଲ ! ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଯେଉଁ ଉତ୍ତମ ଜିନିଷ ଚାହୁଁଥିଲ, ସେସବୁ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ଚାଲିଯାଇଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସବୁ ସୌଖିନ ଓ ମ ନୋହରୀ ଦ୍ରବ୍ଯମାନ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ଉଭଇେ ଯାଇଛି। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସେସବୁ ଆଉ କବେେ ପାଇବ ନାହିଁ।

15 ବ୍ଯବସାଯୀମାନେ ତା'ର ଦୁଃଖ ୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଦେଖି ଭୟ କରିବେ ଓ ତା'ଠାରୁ ବହୁ ଦୂର ରେ ଠିଆ ହବେେ। ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ସହେି ମୂଲ୍ଯବାନ୍ ଜିନିଷ ବିକ୍ରିକରି ଧନୀ ହାଇେଥିଲେ। ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ କାନ୍ଦିବେ ଓ ଦୁଃଖ କରିବେ।

16 ସମାନେେ କହିବେ :

17 ଘଣ୍ଟାକ ମଧିଅରେ ଏହି ସମସ୍ତ ବିଶାଳ ସମ୍ପତ୍ତି ନଷ୍ଟ କରିଦିଆଗଲା।

18 ସମାନେେ ତା'ର ଜଳୁଥିବାର ଧୂଆଁ ଦେଖିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବର ରେ କହିଲେ, ଏହି ମହାନଗରୀ ପରି ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି ନଗରୀ ନାହିଁ।

19 ସମାନେେ ନିଜନିଜ ମସ୍ତକ ଉପରେ ଧୂଳି ଫିଙ୍ଗିଲେ। ସମାନେେ କାନ୍ଦିଲେ ଓ ବହୁତ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଉଚ୍ଚ ସ୍ବର ରେ କହିଲେ :

20 ହେ ସ୍ବର୍ଗ ! ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ପବିତ୍ର ଲୋକମାନେ, ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ ବକ୍ତାଗଣ ଏବଂ ପ୍ ରରେିତଗଣ ! ମହାନଗରୀର ଧ୍ବଂସ ରେ ଆନନ୍ଦ ଉଲ୍ଲାସ କର। ସେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଯେଉଁ କଷ୍ଟ ଦଇେଛି, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାହାକୁ ଦଣ୍ଡ ଦଇେଛନ୍ତି।

21 ତା'ପରେ ଜଣେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ଦୂତ ଗୋଟିଏ ପ୍ରକାଣ୍ଡ ପଥର ଉଠାଇଲେ। ଏହି ପଥରଟି ଗୋଟିଏ ଚକିପଥର ପରି ବହୁତ ବଡ଼। ସହେି ଦୂତ ଜଣକ ପଥରଟିକୁ ସମୁଦ୍ର ଭିତରକୁ ଫିଙ୍ଗି ଦେଲେ ଏବଂ କହିଲେ :

22 ତୋ'ଠା ରେ କହେି ହେଲେ ଆଉ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ବୀଣାର ସଙ୍ଗୀତ ଓ ବଂଶୀ, ତୂରୀ ଭଳି ଅନ୍ୟ ବାଦ୍ଯୟନ୍ତ୍ର ଶୁଣିବେ ନାହିଁ। ତୋ'ଠା ରେ କୌଣସି ଶିଳ୍ପର କାରିଗରମାନେ ଆଉ ଦଖାେଯିବେ ନାହିଁ। ତୋ'ଠା ରେ ଚକିପଷୋର ଶବ୍ଦ ଆଉ କବେେ ହେଲେ ଶୁଣାୟିବ ନାହିଁ।

23 ତୋ ପାଖ ରେ ଦୀପର ଆଲୋକ ଆଉ ଜଳିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୋ'ପାଖ ରେ ବରକନ୍ଯାଙ୍କର ଆନନ୍ଦର ଧ୍ବନି ଆଉ କବେେ ହେଲେ ଶୁଣାୟିବ ନାହିଁ। ତୋ'ର ବ୍ଯବସାଯୀମାନେ ପୃଥିବୀର ବହୁତ ମହାନ୍ ଲୋକ ଥିଲେ। ସମସ୍ତ ଦେଶଗୁଡ଼ିକ ତୋ'ର ଯାଦୁ ଶକ୍ତି ଦ୍ବାରା ପଥଭ୍ରଷ୍ଟ ହାଇେଥିଲେ।

24 ସେ (ବାବିଲ) ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ ବକ୍ତାମାନଙ୍କର ଓ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ପବିତ୍ର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଏବଂ ପୃଥିବୀ ରେ ମାରି ଦିଆଯାଇ ଥିବା ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଦାଯୀ ଅଟେ।

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.

11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;

23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Proverbs 15 in Tamil and English

1 মানুষ তার চিন্তা-ভাবনাকে ঠিকমত সাজিয়ে একটি পরিকল্পনা করতে পারে, কিন্তু প্রভুর হাতে জিহ্বাকে নিয়ন্ত্রণ করবার ক্ষমতা আছে|
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

2 লোকরা মনে করে তারা যা করে সেটাই ঠিক, কিন্তু প্রভু তাদের আত্মা পরীক্ষা করেন|
The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

3 সব সময় প্রভুর সাহায্য নেবে তাহলেই তুমি সফল হবে|
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

4 সমস্ত বিষয়েই প্রভুর পরিকল্পনা আছে এবং সেই পরিকল্পনা অনুসারে মন্দ লোকের বিনাশ হবে|
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

5 য়ে সমস্ত লোক ভাবে তারা অন্য লোকের তুলনায় শ্রেয় প্রভু তাদের ঘৃণা করেন| প্রভু নিশ্চয়ই সেই সমস্ত অহঙ্কারী মানুষকে শাস্তি দেবেন|
A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

6 সত্যিকারের ভালোবাসা ও বিশ্বস্ততা তোমাকে খাঁটি করে তুলবে| ঈশ্বরের প্রকৃত প্রেম এবং বিশ্বস্ততার দরুণ অপরাধ মুছে ফেলা যায় কিন্তু প্রভুর প্রতি শ্রদ্ধার মাধ্যমে আমরা মন্দকে এড়িয়ে চলি|
In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

7 যদি কোন ব্যক্তি ভালো ভাবে জীবনযাপন করে সে প্রভুর কাছে মনোরম হয় এবং তার শত্রুরাও তার সঙ্গে শান্তি রক্ষা করে চলে|
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

8 ঠকিয়ে প্রচুর লাভ করা অপেক্ষা সঠিক পথে সামান্য লাভ করাও শ্রেয়|
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

9 এক জন ব্যক্তি কি করতে চায় তা নিয়ে পরিকল্পনা করতে পারে কিন্তু বাস্তবে কি ঘটবে তা নির্ধারণ করবেন প্রভু|
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

10 এক জন রাজা যা বলেন সেটাই হয় আইন| তাই তার সিদ্ধান্ত সর্বদা সঠিক হওয়া উচিত্‌|
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

11 প্রভু চান সমস্ত মাপকাঠি এবং মাত্র সঠিক হোক এবং ব্যবসায়িক চুক্তিগুলি নিয়মানুযাযী হোক্|
Hell and destruction are before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

12 যারা মন্দ কাজ করে রাজা তাদের ঘৃণা করেন| ধার্মিকতা তাঁর রাজ্য়কে প্রতিষ্ঠা করবে|
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

13 রাজা সত্য ভাষণ শুনতে চান| যারা মিথ্যা বলে না রাজা তাদের পছন্দ করেন|
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

14 এক জন রাজা রেগে গেলে য়ে কোন লোককে হত্যা করতে পারেন| য়ে জ্ঞানী সে রাজাকে খুশী রাখার চেষ্টা করবে|
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

15 যদি রাজা খুশী থাকেন তবে সবার জীবনই সুখের হবে| যদি রাজা তোমার প্রতি সন্তুষ্ট হন তাহলে তা হবে বসন্তকালে বৃষ্টি হওয়ার মতো|
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.

16 জ্ঞানের মূল্য সোনার চেয়েও বেশী| বিচক্ষণতার মূল্য রূপোর চেয়েও বেশী|
Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.

17 ভালো লোকরা সারা জীবন খারাপ জিনিস থেকে দূরত্ব রেখে চলে| য়ে ব্যক্তি সাবধানী সে তার আত্মাকে রক্ষা করে চলে|
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

18 অহংকার ধ্বংসকে এগিয়ে আনে এবং ঔদ্ধত্য পরাজয় আনে|
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

19 উদ্ধত লোকদের সঙ্গে ধনসম্পদ ভাগ করে নেওয়ার চেয়ে বিনযী হওয়া এবং দরিদ্রদের মধ্যে থাকা শ্রেয়|
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

20 য়ে ব্যক্তি অপরের কাছ থেকে শিক্ষাগ্রহণ করে সে লাভবান হবে| য়ে প্রভুর ওপর বিশ্বাস রেখে চলে সে প্রভুর আশীর্বাদ পাবে|
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.

21 জ্ঞানী লোকদের মানুষ চিনে নেবে| য়ে বিচক্ষণ ভাবে কথা বলে তার কথায় অনেক বেশী ফল হয়|
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.

22 এক জন জ্ঞানী মানুষ সব সময় চিন্তা করে কথা বলে| এবং সে যা বলে তা শোনার যোগ্য|
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellers they are established.

23 এক জন বিজ্ঞ ব্যক্তি সব সময়ই চিন্তাপূর্ণ কথা বলে এবং সে যা কিছু বলে তা শোনার পক্ষে ভাল ও মূল্যবান|
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

24 দযালু কথাবার্তা সব সময়ই মধুর মত মিষ্টি| দযালু কথাবার্তা গ্রহণযোগ্য ও স্বাস্থ্য়ের পক্ষে ভালো|
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

25 এমন পথ আছে যা লোকের কাছে সঠিক বলে মনে হলেও তা শুধু মৃত্যুর দিকে নিয়ে যায়|
The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

26 এক জন শ্রমিকের ক্ষুধাই তাকে কাজ করায যাতে সে খেতে পায়|
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

27 এক জন অপদার্থ দুষ্ট লোক অন্যায় কাজের পরিকল্পনা করে| তার উপদেশ আগুনের মতই ধ্বংসকারী|
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

28 এক জন সমস্যা সৃষ্টিকারী সব সময় সমস্যার সৃষ্টি করবে| সে গুজব ছড়িয়ে ঘনিষ্ঠ বন্ধুদের মধ্যে অশান্তির কারণ ঘটাবে|
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

29 এক জন হিংসাত্মক ব্যক্তি তার বন্ধুদের প্রতারণা করে| সে তাদের বিপথে চালিত করবে|
The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

30 সে যখনই কোন ধ্বংসকারী পরিকল্পনা করে তখন তার চোখ মিটমিট করে| সে তার প্রতিবেশীকে আঘাত করার জন্য প্রস্তুতি নেওয়ার সময় হাসিমুখে থাকে|
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.

31 যারা সত্‌ জীবনযাপন করে সাদা চুল তাদের মহিমার মুকুট হয়|
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.

32 এক জন বলিষ্ঠ যোদ্ধা হওয়ার থেকে ধৈর্য়্য়শীল হওয়া ভাল| একটি সম্পূর্ণ শহরের দখল নেওয়ার চেয়ে নিজের রাগের ওপর নিয়ন্ত্রণ পাওয়া শ্রেয়|
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

33 মানুষ পাশার দান চেলে তাদের সিদ্ধান্ত স্থির করে| কিন্তু সিদ্ধান্ত সব সময় ঈশ্বরের কাছ থেকেই আসে|
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
