Running from the presence of God has the futility of "trying to shovel smoke with a rake".
- Paul David Tripp
that rake through the entrails of many an old good author, with a violation worse than any could be offered to his tomb.
- John Milton
Joseph is the wearisomest and self-righteous Pharisee who ever ransacked the Bible to rake the promises to himself and fling the curses on his neighbor.
