Isaiah 2:16 And on all the ships of Tarshish, and on all pleasant pictures. Pliny the elder lost his life by going near enough to see the eruption of Vesuvius, and the further you can stand off from the burning crater of sin, the better. Never till the books of the Last Day are opened shall we know what has been the dire harvest of evil pictorials and unbecoming art galleries. Despoil a man's imagination and he becomes a moral carcase. The show windows of English and American cities in which have sometimes hung long lines of brazen actors and actresses in style insulting to all propriety, have made a broad path to death for multitudes of people. (T. De Witt Talmage, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.WEB: For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery. |
