Then my angerª shall be kindledª° against them in that¹ day,ª and I will forsakeª° them, and I will hideª° my faceª from¹ them, and they shall be¹ devoured,ª° and manyª evilsª and troublesª shall befallª° them; so that they will sayª° in that¹ day,ª Are not¹ these¹ evilsª come²° upon¹ us, because¹¹ our Godª [is] not¹ amongª us?" {Deu 31:16-17} + "And he went outª° to meetª Asa,ª and saidª° unto him, Hearª° ye me, Asa,ª and all¹ Judahª and Benjamin;ª The LORDª [is] with¹ you, while ye be¹ with¹ him; and if¹ ye seekª° him, he will be foundª° of you; but if¹ ye forsakeª° him, he will forsakeª° you." {2Ch 15:2} + "And the Spiritª of Godª came²° upon¹¹ Zechariahª the sonª of Jehoiadaª the priest,ª which stoodª° above¹¹ the people,ª and saidª° unto them, Thus¹ saithª° God,ª Why¹ transgressª° ye¹¹ the commandmentsª of the LORD,ª that ye cannot¹ prosper?ª° because¹ ye have forsakenª° the LORD,ª he hath also forsakenª°¹ you." {2Ch 24:20} + "Wherefore¹ dost thou forgetª° us for ever,ª [and] forsakeª° us so longª time?ª" {Lam 5:20} + "I sayª° then,ª² Hath²°¹ Godª cast awayª° his²¹ people?ª God forbid.ªª° Forª Iª alsoª amª° an Israelite,ª ofª the seedª of Abraham,ª [of] the tribeª of Benjamin.ª ...
