5. Jerome
(347-420 CE)
“I learned the [Hebrew] alphabet and
practiced both the hissing and panting words.
What labour I spent there! What difficulty I
went through! How often I despaired! How
often I quit in despair, and then, in my
eagerness to learn, began again. This can be
attested to both by myself, the subject of this
misery, and by those who then lived with me.
But I thank the Lord that from the bitter
seed of learning I now pluck sweet fruits.”
Letter 125.12, PL 22:1079
6. “It is impossible for a translator to find precise equivalents
for the original Hebrew in another language. Not only with
this book, but with the law, the prophets, and the rest of the
writings, it makes no small difference to read them in the
original.”
Ben Sirach, Ecclesiasticus
7. “If the King James’ English was good
enough for Jesus, then it’s good
enough for the children of Texas!”
Ma Ferguson, Texas Governor, 1925
