- that which:
- "For the punishment of the iniquityª of the daughterª of my peopleª is greaterª° than the punishment² of the sin¹¹ of Sodom,ª that was overthrownª° as in¹ a moment,ª and no¹ handsª stayedª° on her." {Lam 4:6} + "[They that be] slainª with the swordª are¹ betterª than [they that be] slainª¹ with hunger:ª for theseª¹ pine away,ª° stricken²° through¹ for [want of] the fruitsª¹ of the field.ª" {Lam 4:9} + "And he hath confirmedª°¹ his words,ª which¹ he spakeª° against¹ us, and against¹ our judgesª° that¹ judgedª° us, by bringingª° upon¹ us a greatª evil:ª for¹ under¹ the whole¹ heavenª hath not¹ been doneª° as¹ hath been doneª° upon Jerusalem.ª" {Dan 9:12} + "You only¹ have I knownª° of all¹¹ the familiesª of the earth:ª therefore¹¹ I will punishª°¹ you¹ for all¹ your iniquities.ª" {Ams 3:2} + "Forª thenª shall beª° greatª tribulation,ª such asª wasª° notª sinceª the beginningª of the worldª to¹ this² time,ª no,ª nor everª shall be.ª°" {Mtt 24:21}; The sentence here passed upon Jerusalem is very dreadful, and the manner of expression makes it yet more so. The judgments are various, the threatenings of them varied, reiterated; so that one may well say, Who is able to stand in God's sight when he is angry?
