- "Keepª° therefore and doª° [them]; for¹ this¹ [is] your wisdomª and your understandingª in the sightª of the nations,ª which¹ shall hearª°¹ all¹ these¹ statutes,ª and say,ª° Surely¹ this¹ greatª nationª [is] a wiseª and understandingª° people.ª ... And what¹ nationª [is there so] great,ª that¹ hath statutesª and judgmentsª [so] righteousª as all¹ this¹ law,ª which¹ I¹ setª° beforeª you this day?ª" {Deu 4:6-8} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ if¹ thou shalt hearken²° diligentlyª° unto the voiceª of the LORDª thy God,ª to observeª° [and] to doª°¹ all¹ his commandmentsª which¹ I¹ commandª° thee this day,ª that the LORDª thy Godª will setª° thee on highª above¹ all¹ nationsª of the earth:ª ... And thou shalt not¹ go asideª° from any¹¹ of the wordsª which¹ I¹ commandª° thee this day,ª [to] the right hand,ª or [to] the left,ª to go²°¹ afterª otherª godsª to serveª° them." {Deu 28:1-14} + "And when Joshuaª had let¹ the peopleª go,ª° the childrenª of Israelª went²°¹ every manª unto his inheritanceª to possessª°¹ the land.ª ...

Withholdª° thy footª from being unshod,ª¹ and thy throatª from thirst:ª¹ but thou saidst,ª° There is no hope:ª° no;¹ for¹ I have lovedª° strangers,ª° and afterª them will I go.²°¹" {Jer 2:2-25} + "When Ephraimª spakeª° trembling,ª he¹ exaltedª° himself in Israel;ª but when he offendedª° in Baal,ª he died.ª°" {Hsa 13:1}
