- the poor:
- "He raiseth upª° the poorª out of the dust,ª¹ [and] lifteth upª° the beggarª from the dunghill,ª¹ to setª° [them] among¹ princes,ª and to make them inheritª° the throneª of glory:ª for¹ the pillarsª of the earthª [are] the LORD'S,ª and he hath setª° the worldª upon¹ them. ... He will keepª° the feetª of his saints,ª and the wickedª shall be silentª° in darkness;ª for¹ by strengthª shall no¹ manª prevail.ª°" {1Sm 2:8-9} + "For¹ the needyª shall not¹ alwayª be forgotten:ª° the expectationª of the poorª°² shall [not] perishª° for ever.ª" {Psa 9:18} + "What¹ shall [one] then answerª° the messengersª of the nation?ª That¹ the LORDª hath foundedª° Zion,ª and the poorª of his peopleª shall trustª° in it." {Isa 14:32} + "Turnª° you to the strong hold,ª ye prisonersª of hope:ª even¹ to dayª do I declareª° [that] I will renderª° doubleª unto thee;" {Zch 9:12}
