- in a strait:
- "And when Pharaohª drew nigh,ª° the childrenª of Israelª lifted upª°¹ their eyes,ª and, behold,¹ the Egyptiansª marchedª° afterª them; and they were soreª afraid:ª° and the childrenª of Israelª cried outª° unto¹ the LORD.ª ... [Is] not¹ this¹ the wordª that¹ we did tellª°¹ thee in Egypt,ª saying,ª° Let us alone,ª°¹ that we may serveª°¹ the Egyptians?ª For¹ [it had been] betterª for us to serveª°¹ the Egyptians,ª than that we should dieª°¹ in the wilderness.ª" {Exd 14:10-12} + "And when the men²¹ of Aiª lookedª° behindª them, they saw,ª° and, behold,¹ the smokeª of the cityª ascended upª° to heaven,ª and they had¹ no¹ powerª to fleeª° this way¹ or that way:ª and the peopleª that fledª° to the wildernessª turned backª° upon¹ the pursuers.ª°" {Jsh 8:20} + "Moreover the childrenª of Ammonª passed overª°¹ Jordanª to fightª° also¹ against Judah,ª and against Benjamin,ª and against the houseª of Ephraim;ª so that Israelª was soreª distressed.ª°" {Jdg 10:9} + "And when the menª of Israelª turned again,ª° the menª of Benjaminª were amazed:ª° for¹ they sawª° that¹ evilª was comeª° upon¹ them." {Jdg 20:41} + "And Davidª saidª° unto¹ Gad,ª I am in a greatª strait:²°¹ let us fallª° now¹ into the handª of the LORD;ª for¹ his merciesª [are] great:ª and let me not¹ fallª° into the handª of man.ª" {2Sm 24:14} + "Forª I am in a straitª° betwixtª two,ª havingª° a desireª to² depart,ª° andª to beª° withª Christ;ª which is farªª better:²¹" {Php 1:23}
