- thou shalt bind:
- This was the emblem of its overthrow and irretrievable ruin; and the same emblem is employed in "Andª aª mightyª angelª took upª° a stoneª likeª a greatª millstone,ª andª castª° [it] intoª the¹ sea,ª saying,ª° Thusª with violenceª shall²° that greatª cityª Babylonª be thrown down,ª° andª shall be foundª° no more² at all.ª¹" {Rev 18:21}, to denote the utter ruin of mystical Babylon. "Then shalt thou breakª° the bottleª in the sightª of the men²¹ that goª° with¹ thee, ... And shalt sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª Even soª will I breakª°¹ this¹ peopleª and this¹ city,ª as¹ [one] breakethª°¹ a potter'sª° vessel,ª that¹ cannotª°¹ be made whole¹ again:²°¹ and they shall buryª° [them] in Tophet,ª till [there be] no¹¹ placeª to bury.ª°" {Jer 19:10-11} + "Andª aª mightyª angelª took upª° a stoneª likeª a greatª millstone,ª andª castª° [it] intoª the¹ sea,ª saying,ª° Thusª with violenceª shall²° that greatª cityª Babylonª be thrown down,ª° andª shall be foundª° no more² at all.ª¹" {Rev 18:21}
