- "O LORD,ª [are] not¹ thine eyesª upon the truth?ª thou hast strickenª° them, but they have not¹ grieved;ª° thou hast consumedª° them, [but] they have refusedª° to receiveª° correction:ª they have made their facesª harderª° than a rock;ª¹ they have refusedª° to return.ª°" {Jer 5:3} + "Were they ashamed²°¹ when¹ they had committedª° abomination?ª nay,ª they were not¹ at all²° ashamed,ª° neither²¹ couldª° they blush:ª° therefore¹ they shall fallª° among them that fall:ª° at the timeª [that] I visitª° them they shall be cast down,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 6:15} + "Were they ashamed²°¹ when¹ they had committedª° abomination?ª nay,¹ they were not¹ at all²° ashamed,ª° neither¹ couldª° they blush:ª° therefore¹ shall they fallª° among them that fall:ª° in the timeª of their visitationª they shall be cast down,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 8:12} + "[As for] the wordª that¹ thou hast spokenª° unto¹ us in the nameª of the LORD,ª we will not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ thee. ...
