- when wicked:
- "And the LORDª shall returnª°¹ his bloodª upon¹ his own head,ª who¹ fellª° upon twoª men²¹ more righteousª and betterª than¹ he, and slewª° them with the sword,ª my fatherª Davidª not¹ knowingª° [thereof, to wit],¹ Abnerª the sonª of Ner,ª captainª of the hostª of Israel,ª and Amasaª the sonª of Jether,ª captainª of the hostª of Judah.ª" {1Kg 2:32} + "A righteousª man falling downª° beforeª the wickedª [is as] a troubledª° fountain,ª and a corruptª° spring.ª" {Prv 25:26} + "Therefore¹¹ the lawª is slacked,ª° and judgmentª doth neverª¹ go forth:ª° for¹ the wickedª doth compass²° about¹¹ the righteous;ª therefore¹¹ wrongª° judgmentª proceedeth.ª°" {Hab 1:4} + "[Art] thou¹ not¹ from everlasting,ª¹ O LORDª my God,ª mine Holy One?ª we shall not¹ die.ª° O LORD,ª thou hast ordainedª° them for judgment;ª and, O mighty God,ª thou hast establishedª° them for correction.ª°" {Hab 1:12} + "Notª asª Cain,ª [who] wasª° ofª that wicked one,ª andª slewª° his²¹ brother.ª Andª whereforeªª slewª° he him?ª Becauseª his own²¹ worksª wereª° evil,ª andª his²¹ brother'sª righteous.ª" {1Jn 3:12}
