Throughout the Old Testament, God warns his chosen people about the perils of assimilation, shiksappeal and false gods.

The God of the Old Testament is the depiction of evil.

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament; adversity is the blessing of the New.

Perhaps the best-known Old Testament example of perseverance is the story of Job.
