- wherefore:
- "But thou,¹ O LORD,ª knowestª° me: thou hast seenª° me, and triedª° mine heartª toward¹ thee: pull them outª° like sheepª for the slaughter,ª and prepareª° them for the dayª of slaughter.ª ... How long¹¹ shall the landª mourn,ª° and the herbsª of every¹ fieldª wither,ª° for the wickednessª¹ of them that dwellª° therein? the beastsª are consumed,ª° and the birds;ª because¹ they said,ª° He shall not¹ seeª°¹ our last end.ª" {Jer 12:3-4} + "But the peopleª answered,ª° Thou shalt not¹ go forth:ª° for¹ if¹ we flee²° away,ª° they will not¹ careªª° for¹ us; neither¹ if¹ halfª of us die,ª° will they careªª° for¹ us: but¹ now¹ [thou art] worthª tenª thousandª of us: therefore now¹ [it is] betterª that¹ thou succourª°°° us out of the city.ª¹" {2Sm 18:3} + "But Abishaiª the sonª of Zeruiahª succouredª° him, and smoteª°¹ the Philistine,ª and killedª° him. Then¹ the men²¹ of Davidª swareª° unto him, saying,ª° Thou shalt goª° no¹ more¹ out with us to battle,ª that thou quenchª° not¹¹ the lightª of Israel.ª" {2Sm 21:17} + "Sonª of man,ª they that inhabitª° those¹ wastesª of¹ the landª of Israelª speak,ª° saying,ª° Abrahamª was¹ one,ª and he inheritedª°¹ the land:ª but we¹ [are] many;ª the landª is givenª° us for inheritance.ª ...
