- "Ye shall diligently²° keepª°¹ the commandmentsª of the LORDª your God,ª and his testimonies,ª and his statutes,ª which¹ he hath commandedª° thee. ... And thou shalt doª° [that which is] rightª and goodª in the sightª of the LORD:ª that¹ it may be wellª° with thee, and that thou mayest go inª° and possessª°¹ the goodª landª which¹ the LORDª swareª° unto thy fathers,ª" {Deu 6:17-18} + "And the LORDª Godª of their fathersª sentª° to¹ them byª his messengers,ª rising up betimes,ª° and sending;ª° because¹ he had compassionª° on¹ his people,ª and on¹ his dwelling place:ª ... But they mockedª°¹ the messengersª of God,ª and despisedª° his words,ª and misusedª° his prophets,ª until¹ the wrathª of the LORDª aroseª° against his people,ª till¹ [there was] no¹ remedy.ª" {2Ch 36:15-16} + "Nevertheless they were disobedient,ª° and rebelledª° against thee, and castª°¹ thy lawª behindª their backs,ª and slewª° thy prophetsª which¹ testifiedª° against them to turnª° them to¹ thee, and they wroughtª° greatª provocations.ª" {Neh 9:26} + "And testifiedstª° against them, that thou mightest bring them againª° unto¹ thy law:ª yet they¹ dealt proudly,ª° and hearkenedª° not¹ unto thy commandments,ª but sinnedª° against thy judgments,ª (which¹ if a manª do,ª° he shall liveª° in them;) and withdrewªª°° the shoulder,ª and hardenedª° their neck,ª and would not¹ hear.ª° ... Yet manyª yearsª didst thou forbearª°¹ them, and testifiedstª° against them by thy spiritª inª thy prophets:ª yet would they not¹ give ear:ª° therefore gavestª° thou them into the handª of the peopleª of the lands.ª" {Neh 9:29-30} + "Howbeit I sentª° unto¹ you¹ all¹ my servantsª the prophets,ª rising earlyª° and sendingª° [them], saying,ª° Oh,¹ doª° not¹¹ this¹ abominableª thingª that¹ I hate.ª°" {Jer 44:4} + "Becauseªª¹ ye have burned incense,ª° and because¹ ye have sinnedª° against the LORD,ª and have not¹ obeyedª° the voiceª of the LORD,ª nor¹ walkedª° in his law,ª nor in his statutes,ª nor in his testimonies;ª therefore¹¹ this¹ evilª is happened²° unto¹ you, as at this¹ day.ª" {Jer 44:23}
