"Now these¹ [be] the lastª wordsª of David.² Davidª the sonª of Jesseª said,ª°¹ and the manª [who was] raised upª° on high,ª the anointedª of the Godª of Jacob,ª and the sweetª psalmistª of Israel,ª said,ª°" {2Sm 23:1} + "Let thistlesª growª° instead¹ of wheat,ª and cockleª instead¹ of barley.ª The wordsª of Jobª are ended.ª°" {Job 31:40} + "And thou shalt say,ª° Thus¹ shall Babylonª sink,ª° and shall not¹ riseª° fromª¹ the evilª that¹ I¹ will bringª° upon¹ her: and they shall be weary.ª° Thus¹ far¹ [are] the wordsª of Jeremiah.ª" {Jer 51:64} + "Andª it came to pass,ª° while² heª blessedª° them,ª he was partedª° fromª them,ª andª carried upª° intoª heaven.ª" {Lke 24:51}
