Phrase From Nearest Book

Repeating the meme from Elliot:

Grab the nearest book.
Open it to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

My result:

"Please give them this note." — The Commodore by Patrick O'Brien

Disappointing, there are much better sentences to be had in the Aubrey/Maturin books.

The nearest books to me don't have a page 56!

"I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites."
Exodus 3:7-8, the Bible (English Standard Version)... :/

Way to pick the longest sentence on the page.
