- "Woeª to the rebelliousª° children,ª saithª° the LORD,ª that takeª° counsel,ª but not¹ of¹ me; and that coverª° with a covering,ª but not¹ of my spirit,ª that¹ they may addª° sinª to¹ sin:ª" {Isa 30:1} + "For the Egyptiansª shall helpª° in vain,ª and to no purpose:ª therefore¹ have I criedª° concerning this,ª Their² strengthª [is] to sit still.ª" {Isa 30:7} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª the Holy Oneª of Israel;ª In returningª and restª shall ye be saved;ª° in quietnessª° and in confidenceª shall be¹ your strength:ª and ye wouldª° not.¹ ... Oneª thousandª [shall flee] atª¹ the rebukeª of one;ª atª¹ the rebukeª of fiveª shall ye flee:ª° till¹¹ ye be leftª° as a beaconª upon¹ the topª of a mountain,ª and as an ensignª on¹ an hill.ª" {Isa 30:15-17} + "Therefore¹ as the fireª devourethª° the stubble,ª and the flameª² consumethª° the chaff,ª [so] their rootª shall be¹ as rottenness,ª and their blossomª shall go upª° as dust:ª because¹ they have cast awayª°¹ the lawª of the LORDª of hosts,ª and despisedª° the wordª of the Holy Oneª of Israel.ª" {Isa 5:24} + "Woeª to them that go downª° to Egyptª for help;ª and stayª° on¹ horses,ª and trustª° in¹ chariots,ª because¹ [they are] many;ª and in¹ horsemen,ª because¹ they are very² strong;ª°¹ but they lookª° not¹ unto¹ the Holy Oneª of Israel,ª neither¹ seekª° the LORD!ª ... Now the Egyptiansª [are] men,ª and not¹ God;ª and their horsesª flesh,ª and not¹ spirit.ª When the LORDª shall stretch outª° his hand,ª both he that helpethª° shall fall,ª° and he that is holpenª° shall fall down,ª° and they all¹ shall failª° together.ª" {Isa 31:1-3} + "Wherefore¹ hast thou despisedª°¹ the commandmentª of the LORD,ª to doª° evilª in his sight?ª thou hast killedª°¹ Uriahª the Hittiteª with the sword,ª and hast takenª° his wifeª [to be] thy wife,ª and hast slainª° him with the swordª of the childrenª of Ammon.ª ... Now¹ therefore the swordª shall neverªª¹ departª° from thine house;ª¹ becauseª¹ thou hast despisedª° me, and hast takenª°¹ the wifeª of Uriahª the Hittiteª to be¹ thy wife.ª" {2Sm 12:9-10} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª For¹ threeª transgressionsª of Judah,ª and for¹ four,ª I will not¹ turn awayª° [the punishment] thereof; because¹ they have despisedª°¹ the lawª of the LORD,ª and have not¹ keptª° his commandments,ª and their liesª caused them to err,ª° afterª the which¹ their fathersª have walked:ª°" {Ams 2:4} + "He that hearethª° youª hearethª° me;ª andª he that despisethª° youª despisethª° me;ª andª he that despisethª° meª despisethª° him¹ that sentª° me.ª" {Lke 10:16} + "He therefore² that despiseth,ª°¹ despisethª° notª man,ª butª God,ª who hath²° also² givenª°¹ untoª usª his²¹ holyª Spirit.ª" {1Th 4:8}
