Israel's conduct was unheard of even among the heathen. The idolatrous nations remained true to their gods, in spite of the fact that they did not actually exist and could not help them in any way. God, as it were, marvels at Israel's unbelief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a lousy teacher.
