The kingª spake,ª° and said,ª° Belteshazzar,ª let notª the dream,ª or the interpretationª thereof, troubleª° thee. Belteshazzarª answeredª° and said,ª° My lord,ª the dreamª [be] to them that hateª° thee, and the interpretationª thereof to thine enemies.ª" {Dan 4:19} + "I exhortª° therefore,ª that, firstª of all,ª supplications,ª prayers,ª intercessions,ª [and] giving of thanks,ª be madeª° forª allª men;ª ... Forª kings,ª andª [for] allª that areª° inª authority;ª thatª we may leadª° a quietª andª peaceableª lifeª inª allª godlinessª andª honesty.ª" {1Tm 2:1-2}
