Wisdom Chapter 2
1Â For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave. 2Â For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart: 3Â Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air, 4Â And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof. 5Â For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again. 6Â Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth. 7Â Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us: 8Â Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered: 9Â Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this. 10Â Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged. 11Â Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. 12Â Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education. 13Â He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord. 14Â He was made to reprove our thoughts. 15Â He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. 16Â We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. 17Â Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him. 18Â For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. 19Â Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. 20Â Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected. 21Â Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them. 22Â As for the mysteries of God, they kn ew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls. 23Â For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity. 24Â Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his...
   Read moreTried this spot that was recommended by a co-worker. Went there to have tacos and ended up with pozole and carnitas taco đ. The location and restaurant does not have curb appeal, and there is a bit of an element in the small strip mall that this is located in. It took about 15 minutes to get our food, so if you're in a hurry, I'd recommend calling ahead. It's not that this place is crazy busy, so I am not sure why it took so long. The carnitas was mixed, it had buche (pork stomach) cueritos (fried pork skin) and meat, and came with onions and cilantro served on a fresh made corn tortilla đ. They had 2 options for salsa, green and red. The green was mild and the red was somewhat hot but IMO not too hot. The pozole was made with pork and hominy in a red soup. Condiments included onions, lime, avocado slices, tostadas (fried corn tortilla) and what threw me off was the lettuce instead of the cabbage that I normally get from other spots. Various coke products including Mexican coke. It was pretty pricey for the experience and food but then again it's located in downtown LA so I assume it's to pay the exorbitant rent they most likely pay. All in all the food was good and there were plenty of dishes offered. My buddy did say he felt like we were being served by our mom at home, so I guess that makes up for the lack...
   Read moreI canât believe what an incredible experience this place is the price is so reasonable. The food is so authentic and you no matter how much you eat is how full you are always have room for one more quesadilla Asada,
my friend had the taco. It was excellent, but he had to back it up with the enchilada and tons of Mole sauce. You will see the garnish of beans and rice. It was very appropriate,
but the entrée is mouthwatering, come by the business and show your love and they will gladly reward...
