I Heard They Thought Themselves Civilized

Ozymandias’ plaque — bleak headstone of hell! Cain’s ark had a crack — offed sand of red sea. Cornerstone cuts back the billows — sets free. 7/28/2020 Ozymandias was written by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Here is a couple verses: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! The bible speaks of Jesus: On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Revelation 19:16 NIV This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:11-12 ESV In Exodus 14 verses 21-22 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on the right and other left.
