- the rivers:
- "And a riverª went outª° of Edenª¹ to waterª°¹ the garden;ª and from thence¹¹ it was parted,ª° and became¹ into fourª heads.ª ... And the nameª of the thirdª riverª [is] Hiddekel:ª that [is] it¹ which goeth¹ toward²° the eastª of Assyria.ª And the fourthª riverª [is] Euphrates.ª" {Gen 2:10-14} + "Then I proclaimedª° a fastª there,¹ at¹ the riverª of Ahava,ª that we might afflict²° ourselves¹ beforeª our God,ª to seekª° of¹ him a rightª wayª for us, and for our little ones,ª and for all¹ our substance.ª" {Ezr 8:21} + "Then we departedª° from the riverª¹ of Ahavaª on the twelfthªª [day] of the firstª month,ª to go²°¹ unto Jerusalem:ª and the handª of our Godª was¹ upon¹ us, and he deliveredª° us from the handª¹ of the enemy,ª° and of such as lay in waitª° by¹ the way.ª" {Ezr 8:31} + "Now it came to pass¹ in the thirtiethª year,ª in the fourthª [month], in the fifthª [day] of the month,ª as I¹ [was] amongª the captivesª by¹ the riverª of Chebar,ª [that] the heavensª were opened,ª° and I sawª° visionsª of God.ª" {Ezk 1:1}, there sat, "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 ... And it came to pass,¹ when I heardª°¹ these¹ words,ª that I sat downª° and wept,ª° and mournedª° [certain] days,ª and fasted,ª°¹ and prayedª° beforeª the Godª of heaven,ª" {Neh 1:3-4} + "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} + "And when they lifted upª°¹ their eyesª afar off,ª¹ and knewª° him not,¹ they lifted upª° their voice,ª and wept;ª° and they rentª° every oneª his mantle,ª and sprinkledª° dustª upon¹ their headsª toward heaven.ª ... So they sat downª° with¹ him upon the groundª sevenª daysª and sevenª nights,ª and none¹ spakeª° a wordª unto¹ him: for¹ they sawª° that¹ [his] griefª was very² great.ª°¹" {Job 2:12-13} + "But if¹ ye will not¹ hearª° it, my soulª shall weepª° in secret placesª forª¹ [your] pride;ª and mine eyeª shall weep²° sore,ª° and run downª° with tears,ª because¹ the LORD'Sª flockª is carried away captive.ª° ... Sayª° unto the kingª and to the queen,ª Humble²° yourselves,¹ sit down:ª° for¹ your principalitiesª shall come down,ª° [even] the crownª of your glory.ª" {Jer 13:17-18} + "I satª° not¹ in the assemblyª of the mockers,ª° nor rejoiced;ª° I satª° aloneª becauseª¹ of thy hand:ª for¹ thou hast filledª° me with indignation.ª" {Jer 15:17} + "The eldersª of the daughterª of Zionª sitª° upon the ground,ª [and] keep silence:ª° they have cast upª° dustª upon¹ their heads;ª they have girdedª° themselves with sackcloth:ª the virginsª of Jerusalemª hang downª° their headsª to the ground.ª" {Lam 2:10} + "Then I cameª° to¹ them of the captivityª at Telabib,ª that dweltª° by¹ the riverª of Chebar,ª and I satª° where¹ they¹ sat,ª° and remainedª° there¹ astonishedª° amongª them sevenª days.ª" {Ezk 3:15}
