"[[A Psalmª of Asaph.]]ª O God,ª the heathenª are comeª° into thine inheritance;ª¹ thy holyª templeª have they defiled;ª° they have laidª°¹ Jerusalemª on heaps.ª" {Psa 79:1} + "For¹ they have devouredª°¹ Jacob,ª and laid wasteª° his dwelling place.ª ... Wherefore¹ should the heathenª say,ª° Where¹ [is] their God?ª let him be knownª° among the heathenª in our sightª [by] the revengingª of the bloodª of thy servantsª [which is] shed.ª°" {Psa 79:7-10} + "If¹ I forgetª° thee, O Jerusalem,ª let my right handª forgetª° [her cunning]. ... If¹ I do not¹ rememberª° thee, let my tongueª cleaveª° to the roof of my mouth;ª if¹ I preferª° not¹¹ Jerusalemª above¹ my chiefª joy.ª" {Psa 137:5-6} + "Then rose upª° the chiefª of the fathersª of Judahª and Benjamin,ª and the priests,ª and the Levites,ª with all¹ [them]¹ whose spiritª Godª had raised,ª° to go upª° to buildª°¹ the houseª of the LORDª which¹ [is] in Jerusalem.ª" {Ezr 1:5} + "And when the seventhª monthª was come,ª° and the childrenª of Israelª [were] in the cities,ª the peopleª gathered themselves togetherª° as oneª manª to¹ Jerusalem.ª ... And they setª° the altarª upon¹ his bases;ª for¹ fearª [was] upon¹ them because of the peopleª¹ of those countries:ª and they offeredª° burnt offeringsª thereon¹ unto the LORD,ª [even] burnt offeringsª morningª and evening.ª" {Ezr 3:1-3} + "Blessedª° [be] the LORDª Godª of our fathers,ª which¹ hath putª° [such a thing] as this¹ in the king'sª heart,ª to beautifyª°¹ the houseª of the LORDª which¹ [is] in Jerusalem:ª" {Ezr 7:27} + "And they saidª° unto me, The remnantª° that¹ are leftª° of¹ the captivityª there¹ in the provinceª [are] in greatª afflictionª and reproach:ª the wallª of Jerusalemª also [is] broken down,ª° and the gatesª thereof are burnedª° with fire.ª" {Neh 1:3} + "And saidª° unto the king,ª Let the kingª liveª° for ever:ª why¹ should not¹ my countenanceª be sad,²°¹ when¹ the city,ª the placeª of my fathers'ª sepulchres,ª [lieth] waste,ª and the gatesª thereof are consumedª° with fire?ª" {Neh 2:3} + "Then saidª° I unto¹ them, Ye¹ seeª° the distressª that¹ we¹ [are] in, how¹ Jerusalemª [lieth] waste,ª and the gatesª thereof are burnedª° with fire:ª come,²°¹ and let us build upª°¹ the wallª of Jerusalem,ª that we be¹ no¹ more¹ a reproach.ª" {Neh 2:17} + "And he spakeª° beforeª his brethrenª and the armyª of Samaria,ª and said,ª° What¹ doª° these feebleª Jews?ª will they fortifyª° themselves? will they sacrifice?ª° will they make an endª° in a day?ª will they reviveª°¹ the stonesª out of the heapsª¹ of the rubbishª which¹ are burned?ª°" {Neh 4:2} + "So builtª° we¹ the wall;ª and all¹ the wallª was joined togetherª° unto¹ the halfª thereof: for the peopleª had¹ a mindª to work.ª°" {Neh 4:6} + "And Judahª said,ª° The strengthª of the bearers of burdensª is decayed,ª° and [there is] muchª° rubbish;ª so that we¹ are not¹ ableª° to buildª° the wall.ª" {Neh 4:10} + "O Lord,ª according to all¹ thy righteousness,ª I beseech thee,¹ let thine angerª and thy furyª be turned awayª° from thy cityª¹ Jerusalem,ª thy holyª mountain:ª because¹ for our sins,ª and for the iniquitiesª of our fathers,ª Jerusalemª and thy peopleª [are become] a reproachª to all¹ [that are] aboutª us." {Dan 9:16} |
