- I delivered:
- "[Is] not¹ thy wickednessª great?ª and thine iniquitiesª infinite?ª¹ ... Thou hast sent²° widows² away¹¹ empty,ª and the armsª of the fatherlessª have been broken.ª°" {Job 22:5-9} + "For there wereª that¹ said,ª° We,¹ our sons,ª and our daughters,ª [are] many:ª therefore we take upª° cornª [for them], that we may eat,ª° and live.ª° ... Also¹ I shookª° my lap,ª and said,ª° So¹ Godª shake outª°¹ every¹ manª from his house,ª¹ and from his labour,ª¹ that¹ performethª° not¹¹ this¹ promise,ª even thus¹ be¹ he shaken out,ª° and emptied.ª And all¹ the congregationª said,ª° Amen,ª and praisedª°¹ the LORD.ª And the peopleª didª° according to this¹ promise.ª" {Neh 5:2-13} + "For¹ he shall deliverª° the needyª when he crieth;ª° the poorª also, and [him] that hath no¹ helper.ª°" {Psa 72:12} + "How long¹¹ will ye judgeª° unjustly,ª and acceptª° the personsª of the wicked?ª Selah.ª ... Deliverª° the poorª and needy:ª ridª° [them] out of the handª¹ of the wicked.ª" {Psa 82:2-4} + "Whoso stoppethª° his earsª at the cryª¹ of the poor,ª he also¹ shall cryª° himself,¹ but shall not¹ be heard.ª°" {Prv 21:13} + "If¹ thou forbearª° to deliverª° [them that are] drawnª° unto death,ª and [those that are] readyª° to be slain;ª ... If¹ thou sayest,ª° Behold,¹ we knewª° it¹ not;¹ doth not¹ he that ponderethª° the heart²¹ considerª° [it]? and he that keepethª° thy soul,ª doth [not] he¹ knowª° [it]? and shall [not] he renderª° to [every] manª according to his works?ª" {Prv 24:11-12} + "He judgedª° the causeª of the poorª and needy;ª then¹ [it was] wellª [with him: was] not¹ this¹ to knowª me? saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 22:16}
