- "[[To the chief Musicianª° upon¹ Sheminith,ª A Psalmª of David.]]ª Help,ª° LORD;ª for¹ the godly manª ceaseth;ª° for¹ the faithfulª° failª° from among the childrenª¹ of men.ª ... They speakª° vanityª every oneª with¹ his neighbour:ª [with] flatteringª lipsª [and] with a double² heartª do they speak.ª°" {Psa 12:1-2} + "And in thy majestyª rideª° prosperouslyª° becauseª¹ of truthª and meeknessª [and] righteousness;ª and thy right handª shall teachª° thee terrible¹ things.²°" {Psa 45:4} + "And judgmentª is turned awayª° backward,ª and justiceª standethª° afar off:ª¹ for¹ truthª is fallenª° in the street,ª and equityª cannotª°¹ enter.ª° ... Yea, truthª faileth;ª°¹ and he [that] departethª° from evilª¹ maketh himself a prey:ª° and the LORDª sawª° [it], and it displeasedª²°¹ him that¹ [there was] no¹ judgment.ª" {Isa 59:14-15} + "Run ye to and froª° through the streetsª of Jerusalem,ª and seeª° now,¹ and know,ª° and seekª° in the broad placesª thereof, if¹ ye can findª° a man,ª if¹ there beª [any] that executethª° judgment,ª that seekethª° the truth;ª and I will pardonª° it. ... O LORD,ª [are] not¹ thine eyesª upon the truth?ª thou hast strickenª° them, but they have not¹ grieved;ª° thou hast consumedª° them, [but] they have refusedª° to receiveª° correction:ª they have made their facesª harderª° than a rock;ª¹ they have refusedª° to return.ª°" {Jer 5:1-3}
