- thou wentest to the king:
- or, thou respectedst the king, "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 ... The burdenª of the beastsª of the south:ª into the landª of troubleª and anguish,ª from¹ whence [come] the youngª and old lion,ª the viperª and fiery²° flying²° serpent,ª¹ they will carryª° their richesª upon¹ the shouldersª of young asses,ª and their treasuresª upon¹ the bunchesª of camels,ª to¹ a peopleª [that] shall not¹ profitª° [them]." {Isa 30:1-6} + "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} + "So Ahazª sentª° messengersª to¹ Tiglathpileserª kingª of Assyria,ª saying,ª° I¹ [am] thy servantª and thy son:ª come up,ª° and saveª° me out of the handª¹ of the kingª of Syria,ª and out of the handª¹ of the kingª of Israel,ª which rise upª° against¹ me. ... And Urijahª the priestª builtª°¹ an altarª according to all¹ that¹ kingª Ahazª had sentª° from Damascus:ª¹ so¹ Urijahª the priestª madeª° [it] against¹ kingª Ahazª cameª° from Damascus.ª¹" {2Kg 16:7-11} + "They giveª° giftsª to all¹ whores:ª° but thou¹ givestª°¹ thy giftsª to all¹ thy lovers,ª° and hirestª° them, that they may comeª° unto¹ thee on every sideª¹ for thy whoredom.ª" {Ezk 16:33} + "And as soon as she sawª them with her eyes,ª she dotedª° upon¹ them, and sentª° messengersª unto¹ them into Chaldea.ª" {Ezk 23:16} + "Ephraimª also is¹ like a sillyª° doveª without¹ heart:ª they callª° to Egypt,ª they goª° to Assyria.ª" {Hsa 7:11} + "Ephraimª feedethª° on wind,ª and followeth²° after¹ the east wind:ª he dailyª¹ increasethª° liesª and desolation;ª and they do makeª° a covenantª with¹ the Assyrians,ª and oilª is carriedª° into Egypt.ª" {Hsa 12:1}
