"Washª° you, make you clean;ª° put awayª° the evilª of your doingsª from beforeª¹ mine eyes;ª ceaseª° to do evil;ª° ... But if¹ ye refuseª° and rebel,ª° ye shall be devouredª° with the sword:ª for¹ the mouthª of the LORDª hath spokenª° [it]." {Isa 1:16-20} + "In vainª have I smittenª°¹ your children;ª they receivedª° no¹ correction:ª your own swordª hath devouredª° your prophets,ª like a destroyingª° lion.ª" {Jer 2:30} + "O LORD,ª [are] not¹ thine eyesª upon the truth?ª thou hast strickenª° them, but they have not¹ grieved;ª° thou hast consumedª° them, [but] they have refusedª° to receiveª° correction:ª they have made their facesª harderª° than a rock;ª¹ they have refusedª° to return.ª°" {Jer 5:3} + "In thy filthinessª [is] lewdness:ª because¹ I have purgedª° thee, and thou wast not¹ purged,ª° thou shalt not¹ be purgedª° from thy filthinessª¹ any more,¹ till¹ I have caused¹ my furyª to restª° upon thee. ...
