‏ Genesis 31:40

Verse 40. In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night] The being exposed to the heat by day, and frost by night, is made part of the heaviest punishment of Promethus by AEschylus.

��������σταθευτοσδηλιουφοιβηφλογι

ξροιασαμευψεισασμενωδεσοι

ηποικιλεμωννυξαποκρυψειφαος

παχνηνθεωανηλιοςσκεδαπαλιν

AEschyl. Prom. Vinc., v. 22.

Opposed to the sun's most fervid beam,

The hue of beauty changed; till parch'd by heat

The night with spangled stole shall hide its light

From thee rejoicing, but again the sun

Chases the hoar frost from thy harass'd form.

J. B. B. C.
