- For our fathers:
- "For he walked¹ in²° the waysª of the kingsª of Israel,ª and madeª° also¹ molten imagesª for Baalim.ª ... He sacrificedª° also and burnt incenseª° in the high places,ª and on¹ the hills,ª and under¹ every¹ greenª tree.ª" {2Ch 28:2-4} + "For he sacrificedª° unto the godsª of Damascus,ª which smoteª° him: and he said,ª° Because¹ the godsª of the kingsª of Syriaª helpª° them, [therefore] will I sacrificeª° to them, that they may helpª° me. But they¹ were¹ the ruinª° of him, and of all¹ Israel.ª ... And in every¹ several cityª of Judahª he madeª° high placesª to burn incenseª° unto otherª gods,ª and provoked to angerª°¹ the LORDª Godª of his fathers.ª" {2Ch 28:23-25} + "Go,²°¹ enquire²° of¹¹ the LORDª for¹ me, and for¹ them that are leftª° in Israelª and in Judah,ª concerning¹ the wordsª of the bookª that¹ is found:ª° for¹ greatª [is] the wrathª of the LORDª that¹ is poured outª° upon us, because¹¹ our fathersª have not¹ keptª°¹ the wordª of the LORD,ª to doª° after all¹ that is writtenª° in¹ this¹ book.ª" {2Ch 34:21} + "Butª afterª that¹ our fathersª had provoked²° the God² of heaven² unto wrath,ª°¹¹ he gaveª° themª into the handª of Nebuchadnezzarª the kingª of Babylon,ª the Chaldean,ª who destroyedª° thisª house,ª and carried²° the people² awayª°¹ into Babylon.ª" {Ezr 5:12} + "Since the daysª¹ of our fathersª [have] we¹ [been] in a greatª trespassª unto¹ this¹ day;ª and for our iniquitiesª have we,¹ our kings,ª [and] our priests,ª been deliveredª° into the handª of the kingsª of the lands,ª to the sword,ª to captivity,ª and to a spoil,ª and to confusionª of face,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Ezr 9:7} + "But they¹ and our fathersª dealt proudly,ª° and hardenedª°¹ their necks,ª and hearkenedª° not¹ to¹ thy commandments,ª" {Neh 9:16} + "Now¹ therefore, our God,ª the great,ª the mighty,ª and the terribleª° God,ª who keepestª° covenantª and mercy,ª let not¹¹ all¹ the troubleª seem littleª° beforeª thee, that¹ hath come²° upon¹ us, on our kings,ª on our princes,ª and on our priests,ª and on our prophets,ª and on our fathers,ª and on all¹ thy people,ª since the timeª¹ of the kingsª of Assyriaª unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Neh 9:32} + "O LORD,ª my strength,ª and my fortress,ª and my refugeª in the dayª of affliction,ª the Gentilesª shall comeª° unto¹ thee from the endsª¹ of the earth,ª and shall say,ª° Surely¹ our fathersª have inheritedª° lies,ª vanity,ª and [things] wherein [there is] no¹ profit.ª°" {Jer 16:19} + "¹ The incenseª that¹ ye burnedª° in the citiesª of Judah,ª and in the streetsª of Jerusalem,ª ye,¹ and your fathers,ª your kings,ª and your princes,ª and the peopleª of the land,ª did not¹ the LORDª rememberª° them, and cameª° it [not] into¹ his mind?ª" {Jer 44:21} + "Our fathersª have sinned,ª° [and are] not;ª and we¹ have borneª° their iniquities.ª" {Lam 5:7} + "O Lord,ª according to all¹ thy righteousness,ª I beseech thee,¹ let thine angerª and thy furyª be turned awayª° from thy cityª¹ Jerusalem,ª thy holyª mountain:ª because¹ for our sins,ª and for the iniquitiesª of our fathers,ª Jerusalemª and thy peopleª [are become] a reproachª to all¹ [that are] aboutª us." {Dan 9:16} + "He that lovethª° fatherª orª motherª more¹ than² meª isª° notª worthyª of me:ª andª he that lovethª° sonª orª daughterª more¹ than² meª isª° notª worthyª of me.ª" {Mtt 10:37} + "Andª say,ª° Ifª we had beenª° inª the¹ daysª of ourª fathers,ª we would² notª have beenª°¹ partakersª with themª inª the¹ bloodª of the¹ prophets.ª ...
