«When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.»

«Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? / Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; / When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? / Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? / When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, / And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, / And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? / Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; / That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? / It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.»

«I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get»
