For¹ the mothª shall eat them upª° like a garment,ª and the wormª shall eatª° them like wool:ª but my righteousnessª shall be¹ for ever,ª and my salvationª from generationª to generation.ª" {Isa 51:7-8} + "And Davidª spakeª° to¹ the men²¹ that stoodª° by¹ him, saying,ª° What¹ shall be doneª° to the manª that¹ killethª°¹ thisª Philistine,ª and taketh awayª° the reproachª from¹¹ Israel?ª for¹ who¹ [is] this¹ uncircumcisedª Philistine,ª that¹ he should defyª° the armiesª of the livingª God?ª" {1Sm 17:26} + "Thy servantª slewª° both¹¹ the lionª and¹ the bear:ª and this¹ uncircumcisedª Philistineª shall be¹ as oneª of¹ them, seeing¹ he hath defiedª° the armiesª of the livingª God.ª" {1Sm 17:36} + "It may beª the LORDª thy Godª will hearª°¹ all¹ the wordsª of Rabshakeh,ª whom¹ the kingª of Assyriaª his masterª hath sentª° to reproachª° the livingª God;ª and will reproveª° the wordsª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath heard:ª° wherefore lift upª° [thy] prayerª for¹ the remnantª that are left.ª°" {2Kg 19:4} + "¹ Whom¹ hast thou reproachedª° and blasphemed?ª° and against¹ whom¹ hast thou exaltedª° [thy] voice,ª and lifted upª° thine eyesª on high?ª [even] against¹ the Holyª [One] of Israel.ª ...
