"Mala" Quotes from Famous Books



... but from that of retribution only. Thus, e.g., in Prov. xv. 10: "Bad chastisement shall be to those that forsake the way, and he that hateth chastisement shall die," on which Michaelis remarks: "In antanaclasi ad correptionem amicam et paternum, mortem et mala quaelibet inferens, in ira," Ps. vi. 2. Of destructive punishment, too, the verb is used in Jer. ii. 19. But one does not at all see how the idea of "setting right" should be suitable here; for surely, as regards the Servant ...

... Lupton, and beautifully engraved by him. The finest Turner etching is of an aqueduct with a stork standing in a mountain stream, not in the published series; and next to it, are the unpublished etchings of the Via Mala and Crowhurst.

The Via Mala is certainly, in the state in which Turner left it, the finest of ...
