"He lookethª° upon¹ men,²¹ and [if any] say,ª° I have sinned,ª° and pervertedª° [that which was] right,ª and it profitedª° me not;¹" {Job 33:27} + "Then Jobª answeredª°¹ the LORD,ª and said,ª° ... Onceª have I spoken;ª° but I will not¹ answer:ª° yea, twice;ª but I will proceed no further.ª°¹" {Job 40:3-5} + "Wherefore¹¹ I abhorª° [myself], and repentª° in¹ dustª and ashes.ª" {Job 42:6} + "And [that] I¹ also¹ have walked²°¹ contraryª unto¹ them, and have broughtª° them into the landª of their enemies;ª° if¹ then²¹ their uncircumcisedª heartsª be humbled,ª° and they then¹ acceptª° of¹ the punishment of their iniquity:ª" {Lev 26:41} + "And afterª all¹ that is comeª° upon¹ us for our evilª deeds,ª and for our greatª trespass,ª seeing¹ that thou¹ our Godª hast punishedª° us lessª than our iniquitiesª¹ [deserve], and hast givenª° us [such] deliveranceª as this;¹ ... Should we againª° breakª° thy commandments,ª and join in affinityª° with the peopleª of these¹ abominations?ª wouldest not¹ thou be angryª° with us till¹ thou hadst consumedª° [us], so that [there should be] no¹ remnantª nor escaping?ª" {Ezr 9:13-14} + "Howbeit thou¹ [art] justª in¹ all¹ that is broughtª° upon¹ us; for¹ thou hast doneª° right,ª but we¹ have done wickedly:ª° ...
