- Heb. a man of oblations, "And he didª° [that which was] evilª in the sightª of the LORD:ª he departedª° not¹ all¹ his daysª from¹¹ the sinsª of Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat,ª who¹ made¹ Israelª to sin.ª° ... And Menahemª exactedª°¹ the moneyª of¹ Israel,ª [even] of¹ all¹ the mighty menª of wealth,ª of eachª manª fiftyª shekelsª of silver,ª to giveª° to the kingª of Assyria.ª So the kingª of Assyriaª turned back,ª° and stayedª° not¹ there¹ in the land.ª" {2Kg 15:18-20} + "Woeª unto him that buildethª° his houseª by² unrighteousness,ª¹ and his chambersª by wrong;ª¹ [that] useth his neighbour'sª serviceª° without wages,ª and givethª° him not¹ for his work;ª ... But¹ thine eyesª and thine heartª [are] not¹ but for¹¹¹ thy covetousness,ª and for¹ to shedª° innocentª blood,ª and for¹ oppression,ª and for¹ violence,ª to doª° [it]." {Jer 22:13-17} + "Then shall stand upª° in¹ his estateª a raiserª° of taxesª° [in] the gloryª of the kingdom:ª but within fewª daysª he shall be destroyed,ª° neither¹ in anger,ª nor¹ in battle.ª" {Dan 11:20} + "That they may do evilª¹ with both handsª earnestly,ª° the princeª asketh,ª° and the judgeª° [asketh] for a reward;ª and the greatª [man], he¹ utterethª° his mischievousª desire:ª so they wrap it up.ª°" {Mic 7:3}
