- violence:
- "For¹ sinceª¹ I spake,ª° I cried out,ª° I criedª° violenceª and spoil;ª because¹ the wordª of the LORDª was made¹ a reproachª unto me, and a derision,ª daily.ª¹" {Jer 20:8} + "Destroy,ª° O Lord,ª [and] divideª° their tongues:ª for¹ I have seenª° violenceª and strifeª in the city.ª ... Wickednessª [is] in the midstª thereof: deceitª and guileª departª° not¹ from¹ her streets.ª" {Psa 55:9-11} + "Violenceª is risen upª° into a rodª of wickedness:ª none¹ of¹ them [shall remain], nor¹ of their multitude,ª¹ nor¹ of any² of theirs:¹¹ neither¹ [shall there be] wailingª for them." {Ezk 7:11} + "Makeª° a chain:ª for¹ the landª is fullª° of bloodyª crimes,ª and the cityª is fullª° of violence.ª" {Ezk 7:23} + "Then sayª° thou, Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª The cityª sheddethª° bloodª in the midstª of it, that her timeª may come,ª° and makethª° idolsª against¹ herself to defileª° herself. ... In thee have they takenª° giftsª to¹ shedª° blood;ª thou hast takenª° usuryª and increase,ª and thou hast greedily gainedª° of thy neighboursª by extortion,ª and hast forgottenª° me, saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 22:3-12} + "For¹ her bloodª is¹ in the midstª of her; she setª° it upon¹ the topª of a rock;ª she pouredª° it not¹ upon¹ the ground,ª to coverª°¹ it with dust;ª" {Ezk 24:7} + "Woeª to them that deviseª° iniquity,ª and workª° evilª upon¹ their beds!ª when the morningª is light,ª they practiseª° it, because¹ it isª in the powerª of their hand.ª ... And they covetª° fields,ª and take [them] by violence;ª° and houses,ª and take [them] away:ª° so they oppressª° a manª and his house,ª even a manª and his heritage.ª" {Mic 2:1-2} + "Even of lateª my peopleª is risen upª° as an enemy:ª° ye pull offª° the robeª withª¹ the garmentª from them that pass²° by¹¹ securelyª as men averseª° from war.ª ... Ariseª° ye, and depart;²°¹ for¹ this¹ [is] not¹ [your] rest:ª because¹ it is polluted,ª° it shall destroyª° [you], even with a soreª° destruction.ª" {Mic 2:8-10} + "And I said,ª° Hear,ª° I pray you,¹ O headsª of Jacob,ª and ye princesª of the houseª of Israel;ª [Is it] not¹ for you to knowª°¹ judgment?ª ... Who¹ also eatª° the fleshª of my people,ª and flayª° their skinª from off¹¹ them; and they breakª° their bones,ª and chop them in pieces,ª° as¹ for the pot,ª and as fleshª withinª the caldron.ª" {Mic 3:1-3} + "Hearª° this,¹ I pray you,¹ ye headsª of the houseª of Jacob,ª and princesª of the houseª of Israel,ª that abhorª° judgment,ª and pervertª° all¹ equity.ª ... Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:9-12} + "The goodª [man] is perishedª° out of¹ the earth:ª and [there is] none¹ uprightª among men:ª they all¹ lie in waitª° for blood;ª they huntª° every manª¹ his brotherª with a net.ª ... That they may do evilª¹ with both handsª earnestly,ª° the princeª asketh,ª° and the judgeª° [asketh] for a reward;ª and the greatª [man], he¹ utterethª° his mischievousª desire:ª so they wrap it up.ª°" {Mic 7:2-3}
