Thereby have Thy servants, who were created through the word of Thy commandment, and were begotten by Thy will, caviled at me, and so fiercely opposed me that they repudiated Thee, and have rejected Thy signs, and have risen up against Thee. Thy glory beareth me witness, O my Beloved!
They broke His Covenant, rejected His truth, contended with Him, caviled at His signs, treated His testimony as falsehood, and joined the company of the infidels. Eventually, they determined to take away His life. Such is the state of them who are in a far-gone error! And when they realized their powerlessness to achieve their purpose, they arose to plot against Him.
There was an absence of anything girl-like in her fine, ivory-pale face, somehow, though it was a young face and a handsome face, at whose fine lines and clear contour even a connoisseur could not have caviled. Its long almond-shaped, agate-gray eyes, black-fringed and lustrous as they were, still were silent eyes they did not speak even to Denis Oglethorpe.
Even as He hath revealed concerning them that erred: “Then said the chiefs of His people who believed not, ‘We see in Thee but a man like ourselves; and we see not any who have followed Thee except our meanest ones of hasty judgment, nor see we any excellence in you above ourselves: nay, we deem you liars.’” They caviled at those holy Manifestations, and protested saying: “None hath followed you except the abject amongst us, those who are worthy of no attention.” Their aim was to show that no one amongst the learned, the wealthy, and the renowned believed in them.
Laid out, all ready for wear, was a lady's morning toilet complete, and without more ado Sir Everard confiscated the whole concern. At the white cashmere robe alone he caviled.

He went to one of the closets, searched there, and presently reappeared with a black silk dress.
Proudly she adjusted a filmy flounce to a better line. "And such lovely, lovely slippers!" The slippers were indeed to be observed by one and all. The short dancing frock was in that year. Wilbur Cowan was appreciative. "Some kid!" he cried; "an eyeful!" Winona pouted for the second time that day, instead of rebuking him for these low phrases of the street. Only Judge Penniman caviled.
Was it his hand that had left that band about my brow that surging in my brain that weight upon my heart? O God! had I indeed become the sport of fiends? At last I wept, and in my tears found sullen comfort. The image so often caviled at as false in Hamlet came to me then as the readiest interpretation of what I suffered, and thus proved its own fidelity and truth.
I left you in the thick of the fun; who came off best?" "Nobody, of course. They caviled to their heart's content over their old arguments." "Fancy, Rodia, the discussion last evening turned on the question: 'Does crime exist? Yes, or No. And the nonsense they talked on the subject!" "What is there extraordinary in the query?
But that which is ordinarily a fault may, on occasion of extraordinary stress, become the most transcendent and the most admirable of virtues. I think of this last war and of the share our women and the women of other lands have played in it. No one caviled nor complained at the one-ideaness of womankind while the world was in a welter of woe and slaughter.
The lights of unfading splendor have so enveloped Him that all else but Thee is in His eyes but a shadow. And when Thine irresistible summons reached me, I arose, fortified by Thy strength, and called all that are in Thy heaven and all that are on Thy earth to turn in the direction of Thy favors and the horizon of Thy bounties. Some caviled at me, and determined to hurt me and slay me.
