Woe upon you, O swine, for what your hands have wrought, drawing your sword against the countenance of God and showing pride against God, the Protector, the Mighty, the Holy...

Thereafter, the Servant hath heard what befell you in the path of God, and how the fire of tyranny and hatred was kindled in those parts by the swine who have adorned themselves with turbans and robes. Woe unto them! And again, woe unto them! By God's life, their commerce hath yielded no profit, and they have lost both in this world and in the next.

(Writings of Baha'u'llah in 'Akka, year 1293 A.H. (1876))

In Edirne III (BH02744):

"Know then that the mewing of cats hath been raised up, then the barking of dogs, and behind them the howling of wolves, then the grunting of swine—if thou be of them that hear. How then can the shrill voice of the Pen be heard in mention of the mysteries of pre-existence?"

In a Prayer from Edirne (BH03512):
"Glorified art Thou, O my God and my Beloved! Thou dost witness and see how the dogs of Thy creatures and the swine of Thy creation have gathered against us, though we commanded them only to approach the shore of the ocean of Thy oneness..."

In Edirne II:
"We have contented Ourselves with that which hath been written in truth at the hour when the swine of the earth encompassed Me on every side, and We remained without helper or support..." "And if thou wert to look with the eye of thy Lord, thou wouldst surely behold those who have denied God in these days in the form of dogs and swine."

In 'Akká Tablets (BH04661 & BH04946):
"This is a day wherein is heard the barking of dogs from all directions, and behind them the squealing of swine. Blessed is the soul whom the clamor of the people hath not prevented, who hath arisen and proclaimed: The Kingdom is God's..." "The wolf howleth on My right and on My left, the squealing of swine hath been raised. Calamities have encompassed Me from all directions."

In the Tablet of the Holy Mariner / 'Akká Period (BH08390):
"This is a Book which the All-Merciful hath sent down in days wherein the raven hath croaked, and the snouts of swine have been raised, and the barking of dogs hath been heard..."

In Letters to Believers (BH09076 & BH00257):

"We testify that he arose to serve My Cause in the earliest days with such steadfastness as was not hindered by the croaking of frogs, nor the mewing of cats, nor the grunting of swine." "It behooveth you in this day to manifest the most great steadfastness in such wise that neither the turning away of those who have disbelieved nor the grunting of swine may cause you to stumble."
