1 Chronicles 29:14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of you… It is said of Hadrian VI. that, having built a stately college at Louvain, he set this inscription on the front in golden letters: "Trajectum plantavie, Lovanium rigavit, sed Caesar dedit incrementum " ("Utrecht planted me, Louvain watered me, but Caesar gave the increase"). A passenger, reproving his folly, underwrote: "Hic Deus nihil fecit" ("Here was no room for God to do anything.") (Patens.) Parallel Verses KJV: But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. |
