My son, say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call understanding thy kinswoman; that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth thee with her words, which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Therefore, O Vidura, go whither-so-ever thou pleasest. A wife that is unchaste, however well-treated, forsaketh her husband yet. The hearts of kings are, indeed, very fickle. Granting protection at first, they strike with clubs at last. But consider that he is a child who having first accepted one for a friend, subsequently findeth fault with him.
Yet it is written, `He that confesseth and forsaketh his sin shall find mercy. May it not be too late for me!" "Assuredly not, my father. But what canst thou mean?" "Bruno, thy child did not die the day after she came hither." "Father! Thou art not going to tell me " Bruno's voice had in it a strange mixture of agony and hope. "Son, thy Beatrice lives."
Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
By these and the like expressions elsewhere, Christ describeth the true comer, or the man that indeed is coming to him; he is one that casteth all behind his back; he leaveth all, he forsaketh all, he hateth all things that would stand in his way to hinder his coming to Jesus Christ.
It was as though it had been written, "Blessed is he who forsaketh father, mother, and wife to paint pictures." But it is not so written. It was as if the true aim and glory of every man in a civilized community should be to paint pictures. Which has this grain of truth in it, that, in the highest form of human development, I believe every man will be at heart an artist.
Despising the healthy limits of man's nature, he demanded that he should exist only for him, that he should love him alone. "If any man come to me," said he, "and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
And it is trembling with fear, and is agitated, and is seeking its life from me. It is therefore certainly blameworthy to forsake it. He that slayeth a Brahmana, he that slaughtered a cow the common mother of all the worlds and he that forsaketh one seeking for protection are equally sinful."
The eleven survivors grasped each other's hands with feeling too deep for words; they the only ones left of the sixty-eight who, in full health and strength, had left the shores of Candia. "Truly," said one, "we had been swallowed up of the sea, if our Lord Jesus Christ had not been merciful to us, who forsaketh not them that religiously call upon Him."
