- But in all Israel:
- etc. Heb. And as Absalom there was not a beautiful man in all Israel to praise greatly, "And he had¹ a son,ª whose nameª [was] Saul,ª a choice young man,ª and a goodly:ª and [there was] not¹ among the childrenª¹ of Israelª a goodlierª personª than¹ he: from his shouldersª¹ and upwardª [he was] higherª than any¹¹ of the people.ª" {1Sm 9:2} + "But the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª Lookª° not¹ on¹ his countenance,ª or on¹ the heightª of his stature;ª because¹ I have refusedª° him: for¹ [the LORD seeth] not¹ as¹ manª seeth;ª° for¹ manª lookethª° on the outward appearance,ª but the LORDª lookethª° on the heart.ª" {1Sm 16:7} + "Favourª [is] deceitful,ª and beautyª [is] vain:ª [but] a womanª [that] fearethª the LORD,ª she¹ shall be praised.ª°" {Prv 31:30} + "Woeª unto you,ª scribesª andª Pharisees,ª hypocrites!ª forª ye are like²° unto¹ whitedª° sepulchres,ª whichª indeedª appearª° beautifulª outward,ª butª are within² fullª°¹ of deadª [men's] bones,ª andª of allª uncleanness.ª" {Mtt 23:27}
