- as truly:
- "For¹ I lift upª° my handª to¹ heaven,ª and say,ª° I¹ liveª for ever.ª" {Deu 32:40} + "Lift upª° thine eyesª round about,ª and behold:ª° all¹ these gather themselves together,ª° [and] comeª° to thee. [As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the LORD,ª thou shalt surely¹ clotheª° thee with them all,¹ as with an ornament,ª and bindª° them [on thee], as a brideª [doeth]." {Isa 49:18} + "[As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the LORD,ª though¹¹ Coniahª the sonª of Jehoiakimª kingª of Judahª were¹ the signetª upon¹ my rightª hand,ª yet¹ would I pluckª° thee thence;¹¹" {Jer 22:24} + "Wherefore,¹ [as] I¹ live,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Surely,¹¹ because¹ thou hast defiledª°¹ my sanctuaryª with all¹ thy detestable things,ª and with all¹ thine abominations,ª therefore¹ will I¹ also diminishª° [thee]; neither¹ shall mine eyeª spare,ª° neither¹ will I¹ have any pity.ª°" {Ezk 5:11} + "[As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª ye shall not¹ have¹ [occasion] any more¹ to useª° this¹ proverbª in Israel.ª" {Ezk 18:3} + "Sayª° unto¹ them, [As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª I have no pleasureª°¹ in the deathª of the wicked;ª but¹¹ that the wickedª turnª° from his wayª¹ and live:ª° turnª° ye, turnª° ye from your evilª ways;ª¹ for why¹ will ye die,ª° O houseª of Israel?ª" {Ezk 33:11} + "Sayª° thou thus¹ unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª [As] I¹ live,ª surely¹¹ they that¹ [are] in the wastesª shall fallª° by the sword,ª and him that¹ [is] in¹ the openª fieldª will I giveª° to the beastsª to be devoured,ª° and they that¹ [be] in the fortsª and in the cavesª shall dieª° of the pestilence.ª" {Ezk 33:27} + "Therefore¹ [as] I¹ live,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel,ª Surely¹ Moabª shall be¹ as Sodom,ª and the childrenª of Ammonª as Gomorrah,ª [even] the breedingª of nettles,ª and saltpits,ªª and a perpetualªª desolation:ª the residueª of my peopleª shall spoilª° them, and the remnantª of my peopleª shall possessª° them." {Zph 2:9}
