Bible

The Bible is a collection of religious texts that are central to Christianity and Judaism, and esteemed in other Abrahamic religions such as Islam. The Bible is an anthology originally written in Hebrew and Koine Greek. The texts include instructions, stories, poetry, prophecies, and other genres. The collection of materials accepted as part of the Bible by a particular religious tradition or community is called a biblical canon. Believers generally consider it to be a product of divine inspiration, but the way they understand what that means and how they interpret the text varies.

Fools make a mock at sin.
The heart knoweth his own bitterness.

The hoary head is a crown of glory.
A wounded spirit who can bear?

For riches certainly make themselves wings.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep.
