Do we then deem it any great and wonderful thing for the Maker of all things to raise up again those that have piously served Him in the assurance of a good faith, when even by a bird He shows us the mightiness of His power to fulfil His promise? [4123] For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, "Thou shalt raise me up, and I shall confess unto Thee"; [4124] and again, "I laid me down, and slept"; "I awaked, because Thou art with me;" [4125] and again, Job says, "Thou shalt raise up this flesh of mine, which has suffered all these things." [4126]
