And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but
they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's
chamberlain, their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by
the king's country. And upon a
set day, Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an
oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a
man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God
the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
“Democracy is two
wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the
