"A third partª of thee shall dieª° with the pestilence,ª and with famineª shall they be consumedª° in the midstª of thee: and a third partª shall fallª° by the swordª round aboutª thee; and I will scatterª° a third partª into all¹ the winds,ª and I will draw outª° a swordª afterª them." {Ezk 5:12} + "I will heapª° mischiefsª upon¹ them; I will spendª° mine arrowsª upon them. ... The swordª without,ª¹ and terrorª within,ª¹ shall destroyª° both¹ the young manª and¹ the virgin,ª the sucklingª° [also] with¹ the manª of gray hairs.ª" {Deu 32:23-25} + "If¹ I go forthª° into the field,ª then behold¹ the slainª with the sword!ª and if¹ I enterª° into the city,ª then behold¹ them that are sickª with famine!ª yea,¹ both¹ the prophetª and¹ the priestª go aboutª° into¹ a landª that they knowª° not.¹" {Jer 14:18} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ if¹ they sayª° unto¹ thee, Whither¹ shall we go forth?ª° then thou shalt tellª°¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Such as¹ [are] for death,ª to death;ª and such as¹ [are] for the sword,ª to the sword;ª and such as¹ [are] for the famine,ª to the famine;ª and such as¹ [are] for the captivity,ª to the captivity.ª ... And I will appointª° over¹ them fourª kinds,ª saithª° the LORD:ª¹ the swordª to slay,ª° and the dogsª to tear,ª° and the fowlsª of the heaven,ª and the beastsª of the earth,ª to devourª° and destroy.ª°" {Jer 15:2-3} + "Behold,ª° O LORD;ª for¹ I [am] in distress:²°¹ my bowelsª are troubled;ª° mine heartª is turnedª° withinª me; for¹ I have grievously²° rebelled:ª° abroadª¹ the swordª bereaveth,ª° at homeª [there is] as death.ª" {Lam 1:20} |
