- the oppressor:
- "For¹ thou hast brokenª°¹ the yokeª of his burden,ª and the staffª of his shoulder,ª the rodª of his oppressor,ª° as in the dayª of Midian.ª" {Isa 9:4} + "I,¹ [even] I,¹ [am] he¹ that comfortethª° you: who¹ [art] thou,¹ that thou shouldest be afraidª° of a manª¹ [that] shall die,ª° and of the sonª¹ of manª [which] shall be madeª° [as] grass;ª ... And forgettestª° the LORDª thy maker,ª° that hath stretched forthª° the heavens,ª and laid the foundationsª° of the earth;ª and hast fearedª° continuallyª every¹ dayª becauseª¹ of the furyª of the oppressor,ª° as¹ if² he were readyª° to destroy?ª° and where¹ [is] the furyª of the oppressor?ª°" {Isa 51:12-13} + "Thou sawestªª°° tillª that¹ a stoneª was cut outª° withoutª¹ hands,ª which smoteª° the imageª uponª his feetª [that were] of¹ ironª and clay,ª and brake²° them² to pieces.ª°¹ ... Thenª was the iron,ª the clay,ª the brass,ª the silver,ª and the gold,ª broken to piecesª°²° together,ª and becameª° like the chaffª ofª the summerª threshingfloors;ª and the windª carried²° them² away,ª°¹ that² noª¹ placeª was foundª° for them: and the stoneª that¹ smoteª° the imageª becameª° a greatª mountain,ª and filledª° the wholeª earth.ª" {Dan 2:34-35} + "And I will encampª° about mine houseª because of the army,ª because of him that passeth by,ª°¹ and because of him that returneth:ª°¹ and no¹ oppressorª° shall pass¹ through²°¹ them any more:¹ for¹ now¹ have I seenª° with mine eyes.ª ... And I will cut offª° the chariotª from Ephraim,ª¹ and the horseª from Jerusalem,ª¹ and the battleª bowª shall be cut off:ª° and he shall speakª° peaceª unto the heathen:ª and his dominionª [shall be] from seaª¹ [even] to¹ sea,ª and from the riverª¹ [even] to¹ the endsª of the earth.ª" {Zch 9:8-10} + "Rewardª° herª evenª asª sheª°² rewardedª° you,ª andª doubleª° unto herª doubleª according¹ to² her²¹ works:ª inª the¹ cupª whichª she hath filledª° fillª° to herª double.ª ... Thereforeªª shall²° her²¹ plaguesª comeª° inª oneª day,ª death,ª andª mourning,ª andª famine;ª andª she shall be utterly burnedª° withª fire:ª forª strongª [is] the Lordª Godª who² judgethª° her.ª" {Rev 18:6-8} + "Rejoiceª° overª her,ª [thou] heaven,ª andª [ye] holyª apostlesª andª prophets;ª forª Godª hath avengedªª° youª onª her.ª" {Rev 18:20} + "Andª inª herª was foundª° the bloodª of prophets,ª andª of saints,ª andª of allª that were slainª° uponª the¹ earth.ª" {Rev 18:24} + "Forª trueª andª righteousª [are] his²¹ judgments:ª forª he hath judgedª° the¹ greatª whore,ª whichª did corruptª° the¹ earthª withª her²¹ fornication,ª andª hath avengedª° the¹ bloodª of his²¹ servantsª atª her²¹ hand.ª" {Rev 19:2}
