- thy slain:
- "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª concerning¹ the kingª of Assyria,ª He shall not¹ comeª° into¹ this¹ city,ª nor¹ shootª° an arrowª there,¹ nor¹ come beforeª° it with shields,ª nor¹ castª° a bankª against¹ it." {Isa 37:33} + "Then the angelª of the LORDª went forth,ª° and smoteª° in the campª of the Assyriansª a hundredª and fourscoreª and fiveª thousand:ª and when they arose earlyª° in the morning,ª behold,¹ they [were] all¹ deadª° corpses.ª" {Isa 37:36} + "If¹ I go forthª° into the field,ª then behold¹ the slainª with the sword!ª and if¹ I enterª° into the city,ª then behold¹ them that are sickª with famine!ª yea,¹ both¹ the prophetª and¹ the priestª go aboutª° into¹ a landª that they knowª° not.¹" {Jer 14:18} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª He that remainethª° in this¹ cityª shall dieª° by the sword,ª by the famine,ª and by the pestilence:ª but he that goeth forthª° to¹ the Chaldeansª shall live;ª° for he shall have¹ his lifeª for a prey,ª and shall live.ª²°°°" {Jer 38:2} + "And in the fourthª month,ª in the ninthª [day] of the month,ª the famineª was soreª° in the city,ª so that there was¹ no¹ breadª for the peopleª of the land.ª" {Jer 52:6} + "Behold,ª° O LORD,ª and considerª° to whom¹ thou hast doneª° this.ª Shall the womenª eatª° their fruit,ª [and] childrenª of a span long?ª shall the priestª and the prophetª be slainª° in the sanctuaryª of the Lord?ª" {Lam 2:20} + "[They that be] slainª with the swordª are¹ betterª than [they that be] slainª¹ with hunger:ª for theseª¹ pine away,ª° stricken²° through¹ for [want of] the fruitsª¹ of the field.ª ... The handsª of the pitifulª womenª have soddenª° their own children:ª they were¹ their meatª° in the destructionª of the daughterª of my people.ª" {Lam 4:9-10}
