- and I:
- "For¹ he saith,ª° By the strengthª of my handª I have doneª° [it], and by my wisdom;ª for¹ I am prudent:ª° and I have removedª° the boundsª of the people,ª and have robbedª° their treasures,ª°² and I have put downª° the inhabitantsª° like a valiantª² [man]: ... And my handª hath foundª° as a nestª the richesª of the people:ª and as one gatherethª° eggsª [that are] left,ª° have I¹ gatheredª° all¹ the earth;ª and there was¹ none¹ that movedª° the wing,ª or openedª° the mouth,ª or peeped.ª°" {Isa 10:13-14} + "And he tookª° his staffª in his hand,ª and choseª° him fiveª smoothª stonesª out of¹ the brook,ª and putª° them in a shepherd'sª° bagª which¹ he had, even in a scrip;ª and his slingª [was] in his hand:ª and he drew nearª° to¹ the Philistine.ª ... And the Philistineª saidª° unto¹ David,ª [Am] I¹ a dog,ª that¹ thou¹ comestª° to¹ me with staves?ª And the Philistineª cursedª°¹ Davidª by his gods.ª" {1Sm 17:40-43} + "And Benhadadª sentª° unto¹ him, and said,ª° The godsª do¹ so²°¹ unto me, and more¹ also,²°¹ if¹ the dustª of Samariaª shall sufficeª° for handfulsª for all¹ the peopleª that¹ followª me." {1Kg 20:10} + "And he said,ª° Whether¹ they be come outª° for peace,ª takeª° them alive;ª or whether¹ they be come outª° for war,ª takeª° them alive.ª" {1Kg 20:18} + "Now¹ therefore, I pray thee,¹ give pledges²°¹ to¹ my lordª the kingª of Assyria,ª and I will deliverª° thee two thousandª horses,ª if¹ thou be ableª° on thy part to setª° ridersª° upon¹ them." {2Kg 18:23} + "And he spakeª° beforeª his brethrenª and the armyª of Samaria,ª and said,ª° What¹ doª° these feebleª Jews?ª will they fortifyª° themselves? will they sacrifice?ª° will they make an endª° in a day?ª will they reviveª°¹ the stonesª out of the heapsª¹ of the rubbishª which¹ are burned?ª° ... And coverª°¹ not¹ their iniquity,ª and let not¹ their sinª be blotted outª° from beforeª¹ thee: for¹ they have provoked [thee] to angerª° before¹ the builders.ª°" {Neh 4:2-5} + "Some¹ [trust] in chariots,ª and some¹ in horses:ª but we¹ will rememberª° the nameª of the LORDª our God.ª ... They¹ are brought downª° and fallen:ª° but we¹ are risen,ª° and stand upright.ª°" {Psa 20:7-8} + "Have mercy²° upon¹ us, O LORD,ª have mercy²° upon¹ us: for¹ we are exceedinglyª filledª° with contempt.ª ... Our soulª is exceedinglyª filledª° with the scorningª of those that are at ease,ª [and] with the contemptª of the proud.ª²°°²°" {Psa 123:3-4}
