- I have sworn:
- "[As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the King,ª whose nameª [is] the LORDª of hosts,ª Surely¹ as Taborª [is] among the mountains,ª and as Carmelª by the sea,ª [so] shall he come.ª°" {Jer 46:18} + "And said,ª° By myself have I sworn,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª for¹ becauseªª thou hast doneª°¹ this¹ thing,ª and hast notª withheldª°¹ thy son,ª¹ thine onlyª [son]:" {Gen 22:16} + "But [as] trulyª [as] I¹ live,ª¹ all¹ the earthª shall be filledª° with the gloryª of the LORD.ª ... Surely¹ they shall not² seeª°¹ the landª which¹ I swareª° unto their fathers,ª neither¹ shall any¹ of them that provokedª° me seeª° it:" {Num 14:21-23} + "Sayª° unto¹ them, [As truly as]² I¹ live,ª saithª° the LORD,ª as¹ ye have spokenª° in mine ears,ª so¹ will I doª° to you:" {Num 14:28} + "For¹ I lift upª° my handª to¹ heaven,ª and say,ª° I¹ liveª for ever.ª ... I will make mine arrowsª drunkª° with blood,ª¹ and my swordª shall devourª° flesh;ª [and that] with the bloodª¹ of the slainª and of the captives,ª from the beginningª¹ of revengesª upon the enemy.ª°" {Deu 32:40-42} + "My covenantª will I not¹ break,ª° nor¹ alterª° the thing that is gone outª of my lips.ª" {Psa 89:34} + "The LORDª hath swornª° by his right hand,ª and by the armª of his strength,ª Surely I will² no¹ more¹ giveª°¹ thy cornª [to be] meatª for thine enemies;ª° and the sonsª of the strangerª shall not¹ drinkª° thy wine,ª for the which¹ thou hast laboured:ª°" {Isa 62:8} + "The Lordª GODª hath swornª° by himself,ª saithª° the LORDª the Godª of hosts,ª I¹ abhorª°¹ the excellencyª of Jacob,ª and hateª° his palaces:ª therefore will I deliver upª° the cityª with all that is therein.ª" {Ams 6:8} + "The LORDª hath swornª° by the excellencyª of Jacob,ª Surely¹ I will neverª forgetª° any¹ of their works.ª" {Ams 8:7} + "Andª to whomª sware¹ he²° that they should²° notª enterª° intoª his²¹ rest,ª butª to them that believed not?ª°" {Hbr 3:18} + "Forª when Godª made promiseª° to Abraham,ª becauseª he couldª° swearª° byª noª greater,ª he swareª° byª himself,ª" {Hbr 6:13} + "Thatª byª twoª immutableª things,ª inª whichª [it was] impossibleª for Godª to lie,ª° we might haveª° a strongª consolation,ª who² have fled for refugeª° to lay hold²° upon¹ the hopeª set before¹ us:²°" {Hbr 6:18}
