- "And Josephª made haste;ª° for¹ his bowelsª did yearnª° upon¹ his brother:ª and he soughtª° [where] to weep;ª° and he entered²° into¹ [his] chamber,ª and weptª° there.¹" {Gen 43:30} + "Then spakeª° the womanª whose¹ the livingª childª [was] unto¹ the king,ª for¹ her bowelsª yearnedª° upon¹ her son,ª and she said,ª° Oª my lord,ª giveª° her¹ the livingª child,ª° and in no¹ wise²° slayª° it. But the other¹ said,ª° Let it be¹ neither¹¹ mine nor¹ thine, [but] divideª° [it]." {1Kg 3:26} + "Yea,¹ in the wayª of thy judgments,ª O LORD,ª have we waitedª° for thee; the desireª of [our] soulª [is] to thy name,ª and to the remembranceª of thee. ... With my soulª have I desiredª° thee in the night;ª yea,¹ with my spiritª withinª me will I seek thee early:ª° for¹ when¹ thy judgmentsª [are] in the earth,ª the inhabitantsª° of the worldª will learnª° righteousness.ª" {Isa 26:8-9} + "Herebyªª perceive¹ we²° the¹ loveª [of God],¹ becauseª heª laid downª° his²¹ lifeª forª us:ª andª weª oughtª° to lay downª° [our] livesª forª the¹ brethren.ª ... Butª whosoªª hathª° this world'sª good,ª andª seethª° his²¹ brotherª haveª° need,ª andª shutteth upª° his²¹ bowelsª [of compassion] fromª him,ª howª dwellethª° the¹ loveª of Godª inª him?ª" {1Jn 3:16-17}
